About Coalition of Immokalee Workers The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) is a Presidential Medal-winning, worker-led human rights organization based in Immokalee, Florida. The CIW is internationally recognized for combating longstanding abuses in agriculture — including wage theft, dangerous working conditions, sexual violence, and forced labor. The organization's groundbreaking Fair Food Program, launched in 2010, has not only helped remedy egregious abuses in the fields but has also established a proven system for preventing those abuses altogether. Building on the success of the Fair Food Program, the CIW now works to replicate the Worker-driven Social Responsibility (WSR) model across industries including dairy, construction, plant nurseries, sugarcane, fishing, textiles, and more. Duties The Expansion Coordinator will work with a dynamic multi-lingual team who speak Spanish, English, Haitian Creole, and Mayan languages, and will jump into a fast-paced and exciting branch of the Fair Food Program's multi-faceted work: Bringing the unprecedented human rights protections pioneered by the FFP and WSR Model to new industries and regions across the globe. As a member of the CIW Staff, the Expansion Coordinator will work closely with the full CIW team as well as the Fair Food Standards Council (FFSC) staff to advance multiple collaborations and partnerships. Current projects include work in India, the United Kingdom, Spain, Ecuador, South Africa, and Chile, where local organizations are working to adapt the Fair Food Program's model to protect some of the world's most vulnerable and least protected workers. The Expansion Coordinator will connect with and maintain strong communication with our partners as well as our team. The CIW seeks a dedicated, mission-driven individual comfortable communicating in both Spanish and English (additional languages are a plus). Experience living or working in rural settings in the United States or internationally is strongly recommended. Flexibility in relating to people from diverse cultures, languages, and professional backgrounds is essential. Curiosity, creativity, nimble thinking, and a sense of humor are also highly valued. This position is based in Immokalee, Florida, the hometown of both the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and the Fair Food Program. Working in Immokalee means becoming part of a vibrant and resilient community that is helping transform agriculture and other low-wage industries worldwide. Applicants may also live/reside in the Ft.
