Pros

Ever felt powerless to change your community? Do you want to work with amazing leaders, volunteers, and others sharing your passion for change? Do you want to publicly hold elected officials and decision makers accountable for the fair treatment of all people in your community? Then I highly recommend a career with DART!! DART teaches how to organize large groups of organized people to push for systemic change. If fighting for change is your passion, then check out where DART is hiring and apply! It will be exciting and life changing!

Cons

The work/life balance can be a challenge, but with proper training and support this can be overcome!

It's great to read that this work has been such a life changing experience for you. Every day, we're inspired by how organizers across the network are training everyday people to claim their own voice and build the kind of power we need to bring justice to our communities.

Pros

Very fulfilling spiritually. Seeing others in my community work to change our world for the better and seeing them also inspire others to work towards a better community is so very uplifting.

Cons

Lots of very hard stories about people struggling. I am a heart led person so hearing others' stories not only makes me upset for them but hurts emotionally. This, though, drives me more to make changes.

It's so special to be a part of others' growth as they seek to change their communities for the better. Thank you for uplifting this aspect of the work! And, as you point out, processing the weight of others' stories can certainly be challenging. We are glad you found a healthy work/life balance, and appreciate you stressing the importance of this - we seek to continue helping our organizers to find self-care strategies and to take care of themselves as whole people.

Pros

-With my local organization, we were able to pass policies that make real changes to my community   -Have strong life long friendships with fellow organizers locally and from other counties -Saw people get more and more engaged in their community and realize that they can be effective -Built relationships with people from all throughout the County, connecting people together and seeing them develop genuine relationships. I still have relationships with people from years ago -Having worked in other organizing networks that rely solely on learning "in the field" and from doing the work, I feel like I got a lot of training and attention from experienced organizers  (especially in my first year) and had ongoing support when needed

Cons

-Difficult to balance a lot of moving pieces at once takes a lot of planning and prioritizing.  -Have to raise your own salary, so fundraising or delegating fundraising has to be a priority -Have to find ways to stay motivated, especially as volunteer leaders are not always going to follow through and its difficult to feel like the work you put into a campaign does not bear the fruit you want it to  -Need to be speak up for yourself, draw boundaries, adjust plans when you need more time for projects, and say no to things so that you don't burn out

It is powerful to hear that you still have relationships with people from years ago and that you got to be a part of helping folks to realize they can make a difference in their community. Forming these deep connections is such a special part of the work and we are glad you've found such purpose in it.
