Most people get those jobs and stay. Organizing is the same. All of those skills of outreach, leadership development, building a movement - they are all the same. There is a phenomenon in organizing wherein women will generally put themselves out there first. Women will put themselves on the line before men will.
Women are more open to outreach.
Yet, women are often reluctant to be visible. If you go to a building and there are obvious problems, women are the individuals who often organize meetings with neighbors. It's easy then to think they are leaders. But a month later, at the accountability session with the building's owner, all the people talking are men. A lot of men are more comfortable taking the visible role.
