New Brookwood Labor College

Paid 1-Year Labor Fellowships

Based in St. Paul, MN

 

New Brookwood Labor College strives to address racial, social, and economic imbalances of power by educating workers and providing opportunities to gain practical organizing experiences. We are based in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The Minnesota Legislature recently passed some of the most union-friendly legislation since the New Deal, and it is an exciting time to organize service sector workers in our state. We are looking to recruit up to 10 ‘Labor Fellows’ for a yearlong paid fellowship starting shortly after May 19th, 2025. Fellows will learn about the labor movement on the ground, be trained to organize in the service sector, and assist various labor organizing campaigns with partners in Minnesota. Fellows will receive a sign-on bonus at hiring and a monthly stipend thereafter. All work will be performed in-person in Minnesota and Fellows must relocate to the state if not already residing there.

The ideal candidates will meet the following criteria:

Preferred:

• Experience in labor, community, or electoral organizing
• Experience working in health care, retail or other service sectors
• Openness to living in locations outside of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Some Fellows will be assigned to nonmetropolitan areas across Minnesota.

Must have:

• Interest in strengthening the labor movement
• Ability to work well in diverse groups and individually
• Ability to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing
• Ability to work irregular schedules, including evenings and weekends
