We Are Hiring - American Promise

JOIN THE TEAM AT AMERICAN PROMISE
At American Promise, we believe that all people are created equal, that freedom is the unbreakable aspiration of humankind and each of us, and that responsibility for ensuring the conditions for the survival of equality and freedom, and for a thriving society, is ours and every American’s.

Our team is passionate, collaborative, courageous, adaptable, and fun. We love setting big goals and learning lessons on the way to achieving them. We celebrate our differences and work to ensure that our staff, donors, volunteers, and supporters reflect the tremendous diversity of the American people as we strive together on the most American of national projects: amending the US Constitution so that our government reflects our wishes and needs rather than those of the powerful, wealthy elite.

We empower people in all 50 states to connect, learn, act, and lead efforts to mobilize their districts, states and networks to ensure we pass this amendment. By working together—across party lines and city limits—we can make our belief a reality.

If you’re excited to contribute your passion, skills, and experience to our urgent and historic effort, then please send a cover letter and resume to the individual specified for each open position.
