Community Organiser at We Belong

We Belong is a migrant youth-led charity based in London. We Belong exists to ensure young migrants living in the UK are treated equally and fairly in the society they call home. We Belong works with and for young migrants to hold those in power to account and fight for wider immigration reform.

The Community Organiser will develop We Belong’s community outreach in Manchester and the North, working with staff to identify target boroughs/wards, initiate partnerships and collaborations with local councils, community and grassroot organisations.

Organising is crucial as We Belong disseminates information on the ten-year route policy win, reaching young migrants and informing them of their rights and entitlements. The Community Organiser will be trained in issues of race, equality and community organising models essential for the role. They will have oversight of the Hyperlocal Strategy as part of our Chasing Status Project.

In addition, the Community Organiser will work alongside a Manchester based Co-producer and will inspire young change agents with lived experience of social injustices and upskill them. Where necessary the Community Organiser will make referrals into We Belong or signpost to external organisations where young people require additional support.
