WHO YOU ARE:

You Believe In BYP100’s Mission – building a member-based organization of Black 18-35 year old activists and organizers dedicated to creating justice and freedom for all Black people.
You Center a Black Queer Feminist Lens. You recognize that oppressions are interconnected, center the leadership and wisdom of those most marginalized, and work to redistribute power, embed collective care, and transform systems toward freedom, dignity, and joy.
Resource Mobilization & Fundraising Strategy. You understand that resourcing the work is a critical part of building collective power. You bring strategic clarity and confidence to fundraising, budgeting, and stewardship. You nurture relationships with funders and donors rooted in alignment and trust, and you ensure that resources flow in ways that are values-driven, sustainable, and fuel long-term impact.
You Guide Teams Through Change. You guide teams through moments of transition and crisis with clarity, transparency, care, and conviction. You name what’s shifting, create space for processing, and help people move forward with purpose. With strong project management skills, you translate big-picture strategy into clear plans, milestones, and accountabilities, ensuring that teams stay aligned and progress steadily through change.
You Are A Strategic Thinker With An Organizer’s Mindset. You approach operations and internal strategy with an organizer mindset and are invested in your own ongoing political learning and growth—centering people, relationships, and shared decision-making.
You Bring Conflict Resolution Expertise. You approach conflict with humility and care, creating space for honest dialogue and collective accountability. You apply a transformative justice lens to repair harm and build trust, helping staff, members, and boards move through conflict in ways that strengthen relationships and shared purpose.
