Advocates for Youth is seeking a Coordinator of Digital Organizing & Mass Mobilization who will use email blasts and social media campaigns to expand, engage, and mobilize Advocates for Youth’s online base of youth activists, and build a broader network of support to take action and advance young people’s sexual health and rights.
