Part-Time Census Outreach Representative
JOB DESCRIPTION
Jahajee Sisters is seeking part-time Census Outreach Representatives. The Indo-Caribbean community has historically been devastatingly undercounted in the U.S. Census, resulting in a low level of investment into services in the areas we live in, including but not limited to public schools, public transit, health care programs, and affordable housing.
During the month of September, representatives will raise awareness in New York City’s Indo-Caribbean community about the importance of filling out the Census, and will assist community members to complete their forms if needed. Outreach will be done using phone-banking and, in some cases, through tabling in neighborhoods with dense Indo-Caribbean populations in Queens and the Bronx.
This contract will be a month-long position, starting on September 1, 2020 and lasting through September 30, 2020. Representatives will work 20 hours a week and be compensated at $25 an hour. They will report directly to a Co-Director of the organization.
