Job Description
**Summary: **In 2023, Ohio became the nation’s foremost battleground for protecting abortion rights – winning a ballot initiative fight that gave hope to Democrats across the country. In 2024, Ohio will be the center of the battle for control of the U.S. Senate. Ohio must re-elect Senator Sherrod Brown, a champion for workers and the deciding vote on critical legislation. This year offers Democrats the chance to take control of the Ohio Supreme Court, make gains in the state legislature, and defend three battleground congressional seats.
The Training Director will manage our statewide training and development program for Regional Organizing Directors, Field Organizers, and volunteer leaders, and will spend 25% of their time working collaboratively with other Departments on various training support needs.
