The Equal Rights Center (ERC) is a civil rights organization that identifies and seeks to eliminate unlawful and unfair discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodations in its home community of Greater Washington, D.C. and nationwide. The ERC’s core strategy for identifying unlawful and unfair discrimination is civil rights testing. When the ERC identifies discrimination, it seeks to eliminate it using testing data to educate the public and business community, support policy advocacy, conduct compliance testing and training, and, if necessary, take enforcement action.  

The ERC is hiring an Outreach & Engagement Assistant (OEA) who will report to the ERC’s Senior Communications & Engagement Coordinator. The OEA will be responsible for supporting the communications team to develop, create, and share ERC materials including physical and digital resources, newsletters, and reports. This role involves connecting and meeting with various ERC stakeholder groups via multiple channels to maximize the reach and impact of the organization’s work.

A successful candidate will have strong written, verbal, and digital communication skills and a proven investment in the advancement of civil rights. This position will require in-person work in the ERC’s service area, so a successful candidate must live in or be willing to move to the Greater Washington, D.C. region.
