National Positions

Each of these remote positions will coordinate the corresponding national working group. FFF US is a place of learning and collaboration, so these national positions are not intended to do all of the work for their working group, but rather enable and encourage participation in their working group, keep an overview of projects and tasks, and create resources within their working group that local groups can use.

Integrators

As one of the National Working Group Integrators, you will be in charge of helping create the systems to onboard new members into the Fridays for Future network and be a welcoming figure on the team. You will integrate new FFF US members into your working group and get them settled and comfortable.

Integrator is not necessarily a time-intensive position (depending on how much you do with it!) and being involved in the working group’s work will also help with integrating others into it. So you are encouraged to apply for the role within the working group whose work you’re most intersted in, and you are very welcome to then also take on content-related tasks.

Working Groups currently in need of Integrators:

• Community Care
• Integration
• Logistics
• Press
• Research & Policy
• Tech

You support them, check in on members to see how they are doing, and see if they need resources to be successful in their work.

Carer is not necessarily a time-intensive position (depending on how much you do with it!) and being involved in the working group’s work will also help with knowing how others in your group are doing.
