This search is now closed. Thank you to all that applied!
Are you a detail-oriented up-and-coming activist with a passion for social change, social media, and getting stuff done? Want to expand your skill-set and increase your organizing mojo? Here is an opportunity to work with a dynamic network of artist-activist changemakers as we continue to grow Beautiful Trouble.
Beautiful Trouble is a book, web toolbox and international network of artist-activist trainers whose mission is to make grassroots movements more creative and more effective. Praised by Naomi Klein as “elegant and incendiary,” the book is being used by campaigns and classrooms across North America and Europe, just sold its 10,000th copy, and is being translated into seven languages. The people who came together to write Beautiful Trouble then stayed together and became an alliance of artists, trainers and creative campaigners who continue to make, teach, and celebrate game-changing creative activism.
