Fair Count has built a large body of work in a relatively short amount of time in the realm of Civic Engagement. From the 2020 Census, to elections, to redistricting, and now to vaccine accessibility, Fair Count uses a long-term power-building model to support increased participation in historically marginalized communities. Fair Count seeks Complete Count Organizers who live in Middle and South Georgia to support and engage community partners, including policymakers, local organizations, and service providers and to execute on-the-ground strategies in targeted hard-to-count (HTC) communities in support of all civic engagement efforts, namely, the census, the American Community Survey, voting, and redistricting. The Complete Count Organizer will work closely with and under the direction of his/her/their Lead Organizer, the Field Coordinator, and the Program Director to build relationships with community leaders and organizations, plan campaigns/events that HTC communities will respond to and to deploy the vision of the team.

Complete Count Organizers excel at engagement and mobilization strategies, and maintain a working familiarity with various digital relational organizing strategies. Complete Count Organizers understand power building, are committed to long-term relationships with partners on the ground, and constantly seek new opportunities to increase capacity. Complete Count Organizers understand and appreciate the need for metrics – both quantitative and qualitative – to create both a narrative showcasing growth and for goal setting in the field.
