Our Teams

We organize our work through four types of groups, each designed to support different kinds of engagement and collaboration.

Portfolio Teams align with portfolio lead positions on the Executive Committee (ExCo). These are ongoing teams that coordinate or contribute to a specific functional area of work across Indivisible Charlottesville. These teams bring together members with relevant skills and resources to strengthen organizational capacity, and to support campaigns or other teams as needed. Join a portfolio team if you want to contribute specialized skills, help build long-term organizational strength, support multiple programs or campaigns, and collaborate closely with leadership in a particular functional area. To join one of these teams: Review the portfolios listed out for each ExCo member and then contact us.

Program Teams: Program teams are longer-term teams focused on ongoing areas of focused work. They enable fast, real-time coordination, quick decision-making, and continuous conversation so everyone stays informed. These teams may be closely aligned to one or more portfolios, but they might also stand alone. Program team members actively participate in ongoing organizing, contribute their time and skills, collaborate closely with others, and help shape strategy and execution in a specific area of work (like mutual aid, protests etc.). Some examples are: Bird-dogging, Boycotts, Mass Mutual Aid, the People’s Activist Series, and Public Protests & Rallies. If you are interested in joining a program team, contact us and tell us a bit about yourself and what you are might be interested in doing.

Project Teams: Project teams are short-term teams formed to plan, coordinate, and execute a specific action or event. Once the project concludes, the team and its communication thread are closed. Project teams sometimes grow out of program teams or portfolio teams, but may also emerge in other ways. Project team members plug into clearly defined, time-limited efforts, help bring a specific action or event to life, and work intensively with others around a shared goal. Project teams are usually open to seasoned volunteers.

We also frequently collaborate with other organizations and individuals, and in that work, we abide by the St. Paul Principles as a reflection of our values.
