Field Coordinators

Around the United States, CARE supporters have come together to lend their voices in support of policies that benefit the world's poor. Through our website, supporters communicate with elected officials, place articles in their local media and share successes and setbacks with the growing community of citizen advocates.

In addition, CARE has a team spread across the U.S. to help constituents build relationships with their elected officials . Field Coordinators educate and update advocates on CARE's legislative agenda, facilitate local events to raise awareness of CARE's work and help advocates build a local networks to give a voice to issues in the developing world. If you are looking for a way to get more involved, contact a Field Coordinator near you and find out how you can play a critical role in improving conditions in the developing world.
