Help our dynamic membership in the HRM and across Nova Scotia as they move into exciting campaigns to ban fixed-term leases and bring in permanent rent control.

**Four main roles of the job**:

- Membership growth and development: If ACORN is not growing, it is dying. An ACORN organizer knocks on doors and talks to community members directly every day. We are as good as our membership, so we are constantly working on expanding it.
- Fundraising: Assist in bringing in revenues to the organization.
- Working with the Atlantic ACORN leadership: Check in weekly and work with our dynamic leadership in Atlantic Canada.
- Maintain and expand neighborhood chapters: Work in person with the three chapters ACORN has in the HRM, and remotely with our New Brunswick chapter. Communications: Be the point of contact for ACORN’s extensive list of media contacts. Manage social media and web communications working with ACORN Canada’s national staff team. Alliance building: Work with ACORN’s amazing allies to add strength to ACORN’s campaigns. Assist leadership in being stakeholders with government (HRM, provincial governments)
