ABOUT SECOND HARVEST HEARTLAND

Second Harvest Heartland is the second-largest food bank in the United States, sourcing and delivering food to nearly 1,000 food shelves and food distribution partners throughout 59 counties across central and southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Our work begins with a bold vision: a community where no one goes hungry. We help fill plates, shelves, and fridges throughout the region while shining a light on food insecurity and its root causes and inspiring action at home and across the country. By utilizing new and better data, engaging and mobilizing partners, and advancing innovative solutions, we are on the leading edge of a new movement to address hunger and food insecurity in our communities.

If you’re ready to turn your passion into purpose, join us and help build a future where every neighbor has the food they need to thrive.

POSITION SUMMARY

This role supports Second Harvest Heartland’s advocacy at the state and federal level with a specific focus on engaging with, training, and supporting neighbors wanting to get more involved in advancing anti-hunger policy priorities. Because these policy priorities are informed by the needs of neighbors experiencing food insecurity, a successful Neighbor Advocacy Specialist will be adept at listening to neighbors, distilling information, and helping to inform the work of the Second Harvest Heartland Public Affairs Team. Additionally, the Neighbor Advocacy Specialist will be responsible for collecting neighbor stories and other activities in service of our legislative advocacy efforts.

This role supports Second Harvest Heartland’s role as a convener in the hunger-relief advocacy sector. It requires the ability to work effectively with individuals and communities with barriers to accessing food resources and public benefit programs across the food bank’s 41-county service area in Minnesota. Additionally, this role will require collaboration with Second Harvest Heartland’s Neighbor Services and Community Engagement teams, along with relevant neighbor-facing agencies and other external organizations.

This role requires the ability to engage neighbors in accessible, responsive ways and requires some travel and occasional work on evenings and weekends as needed.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Identify opportunities to engage neighbors with interest in policy advocacy at the state and/or federal level
Recruit, train, and support neighbors engaging in advocacy on Second Harvest Heartland’s legislative priorities
Identify and catalogue compelling neighbor stories; train neighbors on the connection between their stories, advocacy and ending hunger together
Closely track emerging issues impacting neighbors and synthesize findings into proposed policy solutions
Craft and deliver advocacy communications for neighbors in collaboration with the Public Affairs Communications Specialist and Neighbor Services team
Support neighbors engaging in direct advocacy at the State Capitol and in Washington, DC
Develop and execute neighbor engagement events related to advocacy

VALUES

We Deliver: We use our head and heart to make decisions, we make the best use of donor dollars, and we achieve results safely and reliably.
We Lead with Our Hearts: We keep our neighbors, partners, and teams at the center of our work. We seek to understand and anticipate their needs.
We are all in this Together: We collaborate, internally and externally. We communicate openly, seeking feedback and sharing knowledge.
We Innovate: We seek out bold new ideas, we embrace change, and we commit to continuous improvement for ourselves and our work.
We Believe our Differences Make us Stronger: We value inclusion and embrace the variety of backgrounds that make up our team and our community. Our different experiences and perspectives empower us to fulfill our mission

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
