Membership Coordinator (Full-time)

Senior Leadership Team
Remote, with regular travel to downtown Toronto, Niagara and New Brunswick
Full Time, Permanent or Term
November 1, 2026 (flexible)
We connect with workers (at farms, fish plants, in care facilities, through WhatsApp groups, hotlines, support clinics, and casework), support them to address their immediate problems, bring them into relationship with one another, and support them to develop their leadership.
We want workers to do outreach, lead meetings, speak to the media, set strategies and tactics, develop plans and implement them.
You will design how we grow - how we structure, recruit, train, and support a new layer of junior organizers in each region. If you have experience building worker power from the base up, at scale, and want to lend those skills to building migrant power when xenophobia is at its highest - this is that job.
The role is posted as full-time and permanent, but for the right person we are open to finding an arrangement that works, including regarding salary.
Lead MWAC's base-building across regions and sectors. Ensure that our casework and peer support model can be more effective as organizing modalities. Set concrete membership goals and create systems that make growth real and trackable. Help organizers assess where MWAC has real opportunities, where relationships need deepening, and where not to overextend. Hold the balance between immediate campaign and casework demands and long-term base-building.
Build a political education and organizing skills program from scratch to support our base, members and leaders to connect their individual circumstances to the immigration and labour systems that produce them. Supervise and coach new organizers through regular check-ins, work planning, and feedback. Help build a team culture of trust, clarity, and political purpose. Address workload, conflict, and performance directly and constructively. As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, share responsibility for the whole organization - strategy, budget, staffing, culture, and long-term sustainability - and bring a base-building lens to every major decision. Deep, demonstrated experience building worker power - running an organizing program, mentoring organizers, and winning campaigns that build power.
A real understanding of migrant workers' conditions - how immigration and labour systems (temporary status, work permits, employer power) shape life on the job and in the community. This will include regular travel to Niagara, New Brunswick, and downtown Toronto.
A commitment to migrant justice, racial justice, gender equity, and anti-oppression practice, and a readiness to recognize and challenge systems of oppression inside the organization as well as outside it.
There's a working organizer recruitment program, and new junior organizers are recruited, trained, and supported in each region.
Members have clearer pathways from first contact to leadership, and campaigns are more deeply rooted in member leadership and base-building. evening and weekend work and regular travel are essential.
~ The role involves supporting staff and members through urgent, sensitive, and high-pressure situations, and participating in actions, outreach, and community meetings.
