Content & Social Media Monitoring Fellow

Company Overview Baseline, formerly Golden State Opportunity, is a nonprofit working to build economic power and create a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. We believe economic dignity shouldn’t be a goal. It should be the baseline. We work alongside individuals, families, and communities to expand access to the resources, opportunities, and policies that help people move beyond getting by and build lasting financial security. Through grassroots advocacy, community partnerships, and culturally relevant outreach, we connect Californians with resources that strengthen their economic well-being. Our work is grounded in the experiences of the people and communities we serve, and what we learn on the ground informs our policy advocacy and drives solutions that create lasting change. Today, as Baseline, we’re building toward a future where hard work leads to economic security, every Californian has the power to shape their futures, and everyone has a fair opportunity to build wealth and thrive. Because when we raise the baseline, we make lasting economic change possible for all.
