Remote - Full Time
General Talent Pool
Worth Rises is always looking to connect with dynamic, mission-driven people who want to help dismantle the prison industry. We're interested in high-level thinkers and strategists who can navigate a wide range of environments with skill and integrity. Whether your background is in grassroots organizing, policy and legislative campaigns, communications, research, corporate campaigns, or operations, we encourage you to apply.We don't always have the right role open at the right time, but the right people show up anyway. Consider this our standing invitation. If you believe in this work, bring relevant skills, and are looking for a full-time opportunity to contribute to the abolition movement at an organization doing it on a national scale, we want to know you exist.
Worth Rises is a non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to dismantling the prison industry and ending the exploitation of those it touches. Partnering with directly impacted people, we work to expose the commercialization of the criminal legal system and advocate and organize to protect the economic resources extracted from affected communities and strip the industry of its power. Through our work, we strive to pave a road toward a safe and just world free of police and prisons.
What We’re Looking For:
We look for people who:
- Have a developed understanding of the criminal legal system and strong interest in understanding the role of the prison industry.
- Take initiative and excel in high autonomy environments with minimal oversight.
- Have a strong practice of personal and community accountability.
- Are personally driven by purpose and mission.
- Have strong oral and written communication skills.
- Have a regular and disciplined practice of active listening and seeking clarification.
- Have genuine commitment to our organizational values: act with integrity, focus on impact, deliver excellence, get it done, and operate with intellectual curiosity (visit worthrises.org/jointhefight).
- Are based in the United States (we are remote-first workplace).
We review every application we receive carefully, but we want to be direct with you: we cannot respond to everyone who applies.
