I heard that you and other folks across the country have a chance right now
to apply to be summer organizing fellows. As someone who's been a fellow
before, I have to tell you: You can't pass this up.
When I was a fellow last year, I got to be on the frontlines, learning how
to do the organizing work that the President's grassroots campaign is
recognized for.
And it led me to my job today as a regional field director for Organizing
for America in Dallas, Texas.
 Apply to be a summer organizing fellow by filling out this quick form, and
someone will get in touch with
you.
 
Crazy as it seems to me now, I almost didn't apply to be a fellow. I had
another gig lined up already and thought my plans were all set. But a
friend forwarded me the link to apply and told me, "Let's do this." So I
did.
I have a lot of amazing memories -- all the friends I made, some
unforgettable calls with supporters, late nights in the office, and getting
to see President Obama speak in Dallas last October.
As a fellow, it was my job to recruit all the reliable, passionate
volunteers I could to join local teams. Then I trained them on the skills
they needed to continue planning events in their hometowns. Once those
grassroots teams were built, we went to work together -- making calls,
walking blocks in neighborhoods, and talking to friends and family about
President Obama's record and the accomplishments of other Democrats.
I'm not going to lie: The day-to-day out in the field as a fellow can be
tough sometimes. These positions are unpaid, and you'll work a lot of
hours. But I learned to power through long call shifts by staying focused
on how rewarding the work was -- and with a little help from coffee and
takeout.
Our movement is built by this work -- and as a fellow you'll be right there
making it happen.
My friend's enthusiasm got me to apply -- and I hope mine gets you to do
the same and come be a part of all the important work we've got to do
together before November 6th.
 If you're interested, let us know now -- and we'll be in touch with next
steps:
