The Community  Organizing and Public Advocacy department leads AVP’s organizing, education, policy advocacy,  and research work, and coordinates the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP). 

PRIMARY FUNCTIONS 

The National Policy Coordinator’s primary role will be to identify and support AVP and partners  around the country in pursuing national policy priorities for LGBTQ and HIV-affected survivors of  violence. The Coordinator will use AVP’s principled policy approach, which prioritizes moving  government resources to support survivors, particularly survivors of intimate partner violence, while  challenging state structures that harm and criminalize survivors. The Policy Coordinator will work to  solicit input from project partners, stakeholders, and survivors to identify LGBTQ policy, funding, and  regulatory needs and issues and determine which specific policy areas should be the focus on an  annual basis. The Coordinator will also plan and facilitate sessions on policy issues at meetings  within AVP and with NCAVP partners, as well as meet with elected officials and other stakeholders  to advocate for policies. This position is partly funded by a five-year grant from the Family Violence  Prevention and Services Act and is part of a multi-organization collaboration that forms the National  LGBTQ IPV Institute. 

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 

• The Coordinator will monitor, promote, and nurture space for service providers and survivors  to provide input, share perspectives, and mutually develop policy recommendations and  action plans to improve LGBTQ IPV survivors’ access to services and support. 
• Serve as a critical nexus of communication and policy planning among provider and  stakeholder groups in the field, while creating and coordinating a much-needed space for the  broader LGBTQ services community to focus on IPV and DV issues.  
• Develop and produce strategies for sharing information gained and lessons learned,  including policy white papers to be published and distributed by collaborating partners. • Provide training and technical assistance to service providers that are working to address  systemic barriers experienced by LGBTQ victims and survivors. This could include, for  example, supporting statewide domestic violence coalitions in planning and focusing policy  efforts to improve victim services, or working with a group of state agencies seeking to  reform or enhance common regulations in support of LGBTQ IPV survivor programs. • Support NCAVP members and national partners in collecting data about experiences of  LGBTQ survivors of violence and project manage data collection process. 

• Serve as connection point between AVP’s city and state level work and our national work; do  political education with AVP members and plug them into national advocacy where  appropriate.

• Participate in key planning bodies such as the National Task Force to End Sexual and  Domestic Violence (NTF) and the national Work Group of ACF’s Family Violence and  Prevention Services Act program (FVPSA). 

REQUIREMENTS 

• Knowledge of the impacts of intimate partner violence in LGBTQ communities and familiarity  with policy trends and challenges. 
• Ability to write clearly and concisely about complex policy issues for policymakers, service  providers, and LGBTQ survivors of violence. 
• 1-2 years of experience coordinating work or playing a meaningful role in moving the work of  a coalition forward, including balancing needs and workstyles of multiple individuals and  organizations and managing political differences. 
• Ability to be strategic, pragmatic, and tactful in assessing the best course of action on  advocacy campaigns and development of policy goals. 
• 2-4 years of experience in public policy or campaign work, including volunteer and activist  experiences within campaigns for office, campaigns to pass legislation, or canvassing/fieldwork in support of or against legislative initiatives. 

PREFERRED SKILLS 

• Experience leading advocacy meetings and issue briefings at the city, state, or preferably  national level. 
• Knowledge of the impacts of sexual violence and hate violence on LGBTQ and HIV-affected  communities and familiarity with related policy trends and challenges. 
• Knowledge of and prior advocacy work around immigration, asylum, and LGBTQ survivors of  violence. 
• Bilingual in Spanish and English.
