As the ELT Initiative grows, one important component
will be to broaden and deepen support for the
initiative in communities that are planning and
implementing for Expanded Learning Time. The community
organizer’s overall responsibility will be to
organize and mobilize efforts in those communities to
support the ongoing planning/implementation efforts
and to lobby the elected leaders of that community as
needed.
Specific job responsibilities include:
• Develop strategies for targeted recruitment and
retention of activists consistent with ELT advocacy,
lobbying and legislative goals;
• Organize and implement focused grassroots
activities through an ELT alert network and
constituency groups as well as utilizing other
relevant resources and contacts to identify, engage
and maintain relationships with supporters and
activists among parent networks, business, school and
civic leaders;
• Build sustainable networks in communities that
will support the expanded learning time effort over
the course of many years;
• Represent Massachusetts 2020 at various
community events, and work collaboratively with other
community agencies on joint efforts; and
• Work with Massachusetts 2020 team to coordinate
messaging and overall community effort.
