WNA Ambassador Associate

BACKGROUND 

OneAmerica was established in 2001 by U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal and has since grown to become a locally and nationally recognized leader in advancing immigrant, civil, and human rights. We utilize grassroots organizing, policy advocacy, and civic/electoral engagement to promote justice in three areas: immigration, education and early learning, and democracy. Our family of organizations consists of OneAmerica (501(c)3), OneAmerica Votes (501(c)4), and OneAmerica Votes Justice Fund (PAC).

POSITION DESCRIPTION 

The WNA Ambassador Associate will provide flexible, cross-functional support across client services, event coordination, volunteer organizing, and program operations. This role is designed to ensure the effective implementation of naturalization programming by supporting client engagement, maintaining accurate data systems, and assisting with the planning and execution of community events. This position requires a high degree of flexibility as priorities and responsibilities change throughout the naturalization program cycle. During periods leading up to citizenship clinics, the role may focus heavily on outreach, intake, volunteer coordination, and event preparation. During clinic periods, the focus shifts to event execution and client support. Following clinics, responsibilities center on follow-up services, data management, reporting, and evaluation activities to ensure successful program outcomes.
