About Us

Mobilize. Organize. Vote. Empower. MOVE Texas was founded in 2013 by a small group of dedicated students at The University of Texas at San Antonio to increase participation in local elections (MOVE UTSA). Since then MOVE Texas has gone statewide to become one of the most effective voter registration and civic engagement groups for young people in the state. Our vision is to build the political power of young people to transform democracy in Texas and beyond. We are building the next generation of Texas leadership by teaching critical organizing skills to take them from voters to effective, lifelong organizers. Our theory of change is simple: develop new leaders, educate voters and create space for the changes we need to make so that our state can be a place where all Texans can thrive.

Position Description

MOVE Texas is searching for 30 young leaders to develop into Community Captains–with the goal of having 15 in both Webb and Bexar County areas. Community Captains are grassroots volunteer leaders who help mobilize their communities around civic engagement. Building relationships with young people and infrequent voters, bringing new volunteers into organizing work, and hosting community events that encourage participation in civic life are essential responsibilities of a Community Captain. Working closely with Campaign Organizers, Community Captains help grow local leadership and strengthen organizing efforts in targeted neighborhoods, campuses, and communities.

• Build relationships through one-on-one meetings and outreach.
• Host one community event every 6 weeks (financially supported MOVE Texas).
• Help recruit and engage new volunteers and volunteer leaders.
• Participate in statewide Days of Action and organizing activities.
• Track outreach following organizational data reporting standards.
• Eligible to receive a $200 monthly stipend.
