Membership Growth Associate

The Young People's Alliance is hiring Membership Growth Associates who will introduce their community to the YPA membership program, with a focus on high school and college campuses.

Growth Associates make a minimum of $20/hour and receive a $10 commission for each sale beyond two per hour. Associates will be trained in several sales techniques and are given opportunities to take initiative and experiment with new approaches. Budget will be provided for sales tactics (handouts, event funds, etc). Primary approaches include:

• Tabling in public (dining halls, student unions, club fairs, involvement fairs)
• Club/org presentations (Greek chapters, club sports, pre-professional fraternities)
• Planning joint events with campus organizations (gamedays, recreational events, etc)
• Cultivating your network (social media, group chats, becoming the go-to for discounts and finance tips, referral links)

Benefits
 

• Learn sales techniques that are applicable across almost every industry, including objection handling, lead qualification, pipeline management and follow-up cadence, and building credibility and social proof.
• Support a nonprofit that is creating opportunity, affordable housing, and community for young people.
• Generous compensation with opportunities for leadership and rapid advancement (most Director and Manager-level staff at YPA started in Associate-level roles).

Why YPA?

The Young People's Alliance is a bipartisan nonprofit run by and for young people. Older Americans have the AARP, one of the most powerful advocacy groups in the country with 40 million members. It's a big reason our government spends 8x more on the elderly than on us.

We're building the advocacy group for young people. Over the last six years, we helped pass laws at the federal level and in over a dozen states to make rent cheaper and protect young people from Big Tech, such as the national ROAD to Housing Act and AI regulations that passed this year in 7 states. Now we're launching a membership to allow more young people to join the movement, with benefits worth $530/year, including discounts, exclusive events, a data-broker removal service, a private job board, and career/personal finance tools.
