Job Description:

Advocacy Campaigns Lead

OGIP is looking to bring on a volunteer to co-lead the development of our advocacy strategy and generate advocacy products (e.g. policy papers, guidance notes, social media campaigns) required to achieve the objectives of OGIP’s community. The Advocacy Campaigns Lead will work closely with OGIP’s two Network Coordinators to make up OGIP’s Advocacy Pillar. OGIP has a thriving advocacy community, including our Advocates Network, made up of passionate young people from around the world who are championing peace and equality. The Advocacy pillar of OGIP works closely with the Advocates Network to support their advocacy needs and find ways to amplify their priorities and messages to policy makers in a way that aims to diversify and decolonise peace and security.

 

Research Coordinator

OGIP is looking to bring on a volunteer to lead our Research pillar. OGIP has a thriving research community and works with this community to produce youth-led research that aims to diversify and decolonize peace and security. OGIP works with young people to respond to issues that matter to them and create research that varies in style, from academic analysis to storytelling, poetry, policy reviews, art and podcasts. By disrupting ‘traditional’ methods and voices of ‘research’, OGIP aims to contribute to the diversification and decolonization of the WPS and YPS agendas, and highlight the necessity for an intersectional and inclusive approach to research, policy and practice.
