Help Wanted: Community Division Organizer

illustration

Common Good Finance is looking for experienced community organizers to start Common Good Bank Community Divisions anywhere in the world. At first, each organizer will be responsible for starting a community division just in his or her own community, full or part time over the course of a few months. Successful organizers will likely be invited to continue this work in nearby communities.

To Apply

Take a look at the public part of our organizer webpage.
See the proposed contract. Check out the Checklist for Success.
Tell us your experience and why you want to do this work.
Email letter, resume and references to:
      Amie Chaudoir, Personnel Director (jobs @ commongoodbank.com)
Not for you? Get someone else to start a Common Good Bank Community Division in your town. Put up this poster.

The Work

  • Promote the common good bank concept locally
  • Get 65+ people to sign up as future depositors
  • Find a local nonprofit partner (ideally a credit union)
  • Find 5 local businesses to offer a rebate
  • Find one local business to give cash back with no purchase required
  • Report progress and share ideas with other Division Organizers
  • Raise about $4,000 in donations, to support your work
  • Other tasks that may arise (optional)

What It Takes

  • Courage
  • Integrity
  • Respect and friendliness
  • Passionate commitment to social and economic justice
  • Enthusiasm about the common good bank idea
  • Can work independently and as part of a team
  • Can talk easily with anyone and say things simply and clearly
  • Basic computer skills

Support

Common Good Finance and the other Community Division Organizers will supply:

  • promotional materials (model posters, business cards, handout cards, press releases, emails, displays and videos)
  • step-by-step suggestions for each task
  • training on the common good bank idea
  • ongoing advice, encouragement and feedback

Pay

Community Division Organizers will work as independent contractors. (That means no insurance benefits and different income tax forms.) Common Good Finance is prepared to pay $15 to $25 an hour, plus expenses, based on the contractor's success. See the proposed contract.

We hope the Common Good Bank creates a community land trust leased from a county and constructs a 15-MW wind farm that also produces organic food and vegetable oil to fuel vehicles. 


 

Sounds great. Let's do it!

I want to start--please send me the stuff--i have been brain-storming this type of approach for years, but until now, had not found a vehicle. I have alot of connections and am starting a consumer-oriented financial education biz as we speak, which will go hand-in-hand.

A green investor (financial adviser) has confirmed now that he wants to work with me to form a team to create a Common Good Bank in San Diego. I am giving a presentation in two days on banking choices and will use the 14 minute presentation from the website at some point during the 2 hour workshop. A local Fair Banking group that has been focused on getting banks to use more fair practices has lost some steam, so I am in the early stages of conversation with them. We will add information to what we already have on our website and link to the Common Good Bank website.

I'm one of three partners who are planning to open a worker-owned cooperative restaurant - a traditional New York style diner. We will be located in or near South Bronx, NY, one of the poorest neighborhoods in the country. We plan to create bilingual (English/Spanish) and multicultural space. I love the idea of this bank and would just love to be part of starting one in South Bronx. I invite you to look at our website and contact us if you have any interest or feedback about our venture. http://www.workersdiner.org

Cheers!
