Primarily student run, Boston Mobilization is continually redefined by the vision and energy of our talented student interns. Mobe is an action-oriented organization, which runs campaigns on a variety of issues (see projects), but its underlying mission is to mobilize the youth of today, provide them with the skills, knowledge and inspiration to find their voice, and realize that their voice can make a difference in the future of this country.

We are phasing out the term "intern" as it does not reflect the level of responsibility and participation of our organizers and activists.

As an ORGANIZER, you will put 10-20 hours per week into one of our programs (see specifics below) and participate in all facets of the group. We are phasing out the term "intern" as it does not reflect the level of responsibility of our organizers.
As an ACTIVIST, you will participate in one action every two weeks, and one planning meeting every two weeks.

Student and Community Organizer
As a student and community organizer, you will not be given a slot to fill and instructions on how to fill it. Because Boston Mobilization is a youth organization, what we accomplish is up to you! Together we will define how we work together, what we do and when we do it. We will map out specific goals and objectives for each project and for the organization as a whole. Bring your ideas, your enthusiasm and your creativity and there is no limit to what we can do together.

We are looking for students and youth who want to learn about non-profit work, activism, community organizing, politics and working together. .
