QuEST seeks Housing Justice Fellow

 Nonprofit Fellowship and Community Living for Young Adults with QuEST in Seattle

QuEST is a Quaker-sponsored service year fellowship in Seattle providing recent college graduates with professional nonprofit experience, an intentional residential community, and opportunities for training and reflection. QuEST Fellows are matched with one of our partner agencies in full-time year-long positions. The six Fellows live together in a shared house in Seattle's University District and they receive room and board, a small personal stipend, transportation and health care funds, mentorship and training, and student loan support.

QuEST is seeking a Community Organizing Fellow to serve at the Washington Housing Alliance Action Fund. This Fellow supports all levels of the Action Fund's voter engagement program including mobilizing volunteers for Get-Out-The-Vote canvasses (field and phone) in support of housing champions, leading voter registration activities, and advancing the Housing Voter campaign. The Community Organizing Fellow also engages residents of low-income housing in organizing, issue education, state and local public policy advocacy, civic engagement, and leadership development.

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the placement is filled, with a priority deadline of July 10. The program year begins August 26. More information about QuEST admissions, including the application, is on this website. A full job description for the Community Organizing Fellow role can be downloaded from here.
