Common Good Finance is looking for experienced community organizers to start common good bank community divisions anywhere in the world. At first, each organizer will be responsible for starting a community division just in his or her own community, full or part time over the course of a month or two. Successful organizers will likely be invited to continue this work in nearby communities.
