JOB DESCRIPTION—Deputy Field Organizer
Jolt Initiative 501c3 & Jolt Action 501c4
ABOUT JOLT
Jolt is a non-profit organization founded in 2016 to increase the civic participation of Latinos in Texas to
build a stronger democracy and ensure that everyone’s voice is heard. Jolt knows that our democracy
works best when everyone gets a seat at the table. That’s why Jolt builds the leadership capacity of
Latinos to mobilize their peers to action. Jolt lifts up the voices of young Latinos in Texas to tell their own
stories through creative arts and acts, development institutes, and student leadership.
Jolt believes that Texas is poised for change, with a growing and disaffected Latino population. Today, 1 in
3 eligible voters in Texas is Latino and projections indicate that by 2030, Latinos will make up the
majority of the state’s population. But demographics alone aren’t destiny. Winning change requires
building a homegrown movement and a smart, focused, long-term strategy that can deliver equality and
power to those who are most excluded and often first impacted.
