Today we will continue the saga known as Meet a Community Organization with our fifth installment. This time, we will get to know the National Organizers Alliance. NOA can be found at http://noacentral.org/page.php?id=1.
The National Organizers Alliance, based in Washington D.C., is job central in the community organizing world. They maintain an updated jab bank of community organizing jobs and recently launched the Organizers for America program which is a jobs marketplace for people looking to enter organizing, veteran organizers seeking new challenges, and established community organizations looking to hire new organizers. NOA also activley promotes community organizer employment benefits, pension plan, and other ways to help compensate us.
NOA also runs the presitigious awards program known as the Organizer Respite Awards. These awards honors two of the most outstanding community organizers for the past year. The 2008-2009 recipients were Dorothy Cunningham with Irvington Community Association in Baltimore, and Mary Kay Harris with Direct Action for Rights and Equality (DARE) in Providence, Rhode Island.
