About Alliance for Girls
Alliance for Girls (AFG) is a powerful, community-driven alliance made up of over 120 girl and gender-expansive youth-serving organizations and leaders all working to advance gender equity and ensuring every girl and gender-expansive youth in California, especially those of color, can thrive. AFG creates communities where girls and gender-expansive youth of color and the organizations that serve them are valued, respected, and safe.
Key Responsibilities:
Advocacy Program Development, Management, and Implementation
- Develop, lead, and execute youth-informed advocacy projects to advance the rights of girls and gender-expansive youth, especially those of color, at the institutional, local, and state levels. For more information about AFG’s advocacy approach, please refer to AFG’s Advocacy Theory of Action
- Manage and implement AFG’s school-based project, Reclaiming Safety: Changing School Culture to Prevent Gender-Based Violence, at Skyline High School and Madison Park Academy in collaboration with The Unity Council’s Latinx Mentoring and Achievement Program.
Youth and Member Engagement
- Use participatory processes to organize community events and town halls in collaboration with AFG’s Programs team and youth researchers to engage girls, gender-expansive youth, member organizations, and interested community members in developing data-driven recommendations and solutions to issues that matter most to them.
- Develop and maintain strong relationships and collaborate closely with AFG member organizations, girls and gender-expansive youth, Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) school staff and administration, government officials, community coalitions, and institutional partners.
Communications
- Prepare compelling advocacy materials, including advocacy alerts, testimony, briefing papers, and social media content to inform and mobilize supporters.
- Track, uplift, support, and share updates about initiatives by AFG and/or its member organizations and their youth with the rest of the AFG team and larger AFG community.
Monitoring and Evaluation
- Work collaboratively with AFG's Evaluation Manager to document advocacy activities and outcomes, including tracking participation, collecting feedback from youth and partners, and contributing to impact reports that inform future strategy.
What We’re Looking For
- Advocacy and organizing experience: 3+ years of community organizing, advocacy, coalition-building, or systems change work (this could be through formal employment, volunteer leadership, grassroots organizing, or lived experience advocating for yourself or your communities)
- Youth-centered practice: Proven ability to work alongside and center youth of color, particularly girls and gender-expansive youth, as experts and decision-makers rather than beneficiaries
- Strategic versatility: Deep expertise in at least two of these areas: community organizing, coalition building, cultural/narrative strategy, youth engagement, or policy advocacy
- Lived expertise: Ability to translate personal experience navigating systems into meaningful strategies for systemic change
- Ability to travel to multiple sites across the San Francisco Bay Area for activities like school visits, member organization meetings, coalition convenings, and community events (mileage/transit reimbursed)
