  • Looking for an entry point into an advocacy/organizing career?
  • Recently retired and looking for a way you can use your leadership skills and professional experience to stay busy and continue making a difference in your community?
  • Frustrated with the state of poverty and inequality across the world and eager to do something to make a difference?

Who WE are:

RESULTS is a movement of passionate, committed everyday people. Together we use our voices to influence political decisions that will bring an end to poverty. Our staff is based in Washington D.C. and we have community chapters across the United States. Learn more here: https://youtu.be/m2X674DjySU

Our Opportunity:

RESULTS is creating a new advocacy chapter in Denver. This will be a group of passionate, committed community members who are willing take action to promote solutions to global poverty (increase access to health and nutrition, education, and economic opportunity). We'll meet twice a month, get updates on pressing global issues, learn powerful advocacy skills, and most important, take action together to make a difference. Help us build our core team!

Actions include:

  • Meeting face to face with members of Congress and building relationships with their offices
  • Writing pieces for the media
  • Writing letters and making phone calls to decision makers
  • Hosting community education events and calling on others in the community to take action with us
  • Leadership opportunities are available for those seeking such experiences

Our Issues:

Since 1990, the number of children dying from preventable causes across the world has been cut by more than half, millions more kids are going to school, and we're on the path to ending AIDS. RESULTS has played an important role in these successes through our advocacy.

But we know there is still more work to do. This year, 5.6 million kids will die of a preventable cause before their 5th birthday, 300,000 women will die from a preventable pregnancy related cause, and millions of girls will miss out on their chance to go to school.

For the first time in history, we are faced with the fact that we have all of the resources needed to end these problems, ensuring that all kids are healthy, in school, and have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

The question isn't "Can we do this" but "Will we do what is needed to make this possibility a reality."

Help us make this a reality. Raise your voice with RESULTS.
