Job Description

For more than 10 years over half our streams and 20 million acres of wetlands have been vulnerable to destruction due to bad policy decisions taking away their protection under the Clean Water Act.

Join Clean Water Action in the fight to restore those protections, and make sure all Americans have access to clean drinking water!

As part of our staff, you would organize communities around environmental issues. Responsibilities include one-on-one communication, fundraising, dispersing information, and good record keeping.

Qualifications

Skills: We look for candidates who have strong oral and written communication skills, and who possess good attention to detail. Candidates should have an interest in working to protect our environment. We do provide extensive training on the job responsibilities and on the issues we cover.

The hours for the work are from 2pm to 10:30pm, Monday through Friday, or at least 3 days a week between Monday and Friday. We are hiring for positions starting immediately for spring and summer semesters as well as for long term work. We provide benefits, travel opportunities, and the potential for growth within the organization.

Organization Description

Clean Water Action is a non-profit organization with nearly 300,000 members in Michigan working to empower people to take action to protect America's waters, build healthy communities and to make democracy work for all of us. For 40 years Clean Water Action has succeeded in winning some of the nation's most important environmental protections through grassroots organizing, expert policy research and political advocacy focused on holding elected officials accountable to the public.

Job Description

Now hiring Climate Organizers to help us fight global warming!
Send your resume and cover letter to Kim Stevens, Campaign Director for Environment Colorado, at kim@environmentcolorado.org with “Summer Climate Organizer” in the subject line. We are hiring organizers to start right away.

The Campaign
I’m sure you know that global warming is the most pressing environmental problem of our time. From Hurricane Sandy to the worst drought since the Dust Bowl, extreme weather is becoming more frequent and severe. If we don’t act now to cut global warming pollution, the consequences for future generations will be devastating.

And we know what we need to do: dramatically reduce the carbon emissions created when we burn fossil fuels, become a lot more efficient – so that we use less energy, and ensure that all of the energy we do use comes from clean renewable sources like the sun and the wind.

This summer, we have the best chance we’ve had in years to cut global warming pollution. President Obama has directed his Environmental Protection Agency to develop standards that would cut carbon pollution from power plants – the single largest source of global warming pollution in the country. Now it’s our job to build the public support it will take to make sure these standards become reality, and our window of opportunity to build that support is this summer. If we succeed, this will be a historic step in the fight against global warming.

The Job Description
As part of a nationwide effort, Environment Colorado’s Climate Organizers will collect hundreds of public comments and recruit volunteers to get thousands of Coloradans to show their support for these new power plant standards to highlight the dangers of climate change. Organizers will also develop local leaders who can take on more responsibility and run other grassroots actions throughout the summer as needed. And by the end of the campaign, organizers will have built a volunteer team who can continue the fight for Colorado’s environment well past the summer.

Dates
We are hiring organizers to start right away and end in late August, but there is some flexibility in the start and end dates.

Locations
Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins

If you’re interested in working on this campaign outside of Colorado, please let us know. We have opportunities available nationwide.

Training
There will be a week-long training near the beginning of the campaign.

Salary
Salary will be commensurate with experience.

Qualifications
We’re seeking applicants who are ready to commit their time, talent and passion to advocating, organizing and fighting for the environment. We look for smarts, academic excellence and an eagerness to learn. We value leadership experience of all kinds, especially organizing, grassroots outreach and building campus groups. College graduates, graduating seniors, and rising seniors are invited to apply. Our Climate Organizers will have the opportunity to apply for a career position with Environment Colorado and Environment America - the federation of state groups of which we’re a part - at the end of the campaign.

How to Apply
Send your resume and cover letter to Kim Stevens, Campaign Director for Environment Colorado, at kim@environmentcolorado.org with “Summer Climate Organizer” in the subject line. Slots will fill at a first-come, first-served basis.

Student PIRG’s New Voters Project Campus Organizer Job Description
The New Voters Project is a nonpartisan effort to help register young people and get them to the polls on Election Day. The full participation of young people in the political process is essential to a truly representative, vibrant democracy.

The outcome of elections this November will have a lasting impact on our communities. People elected will make decisions about issues we care about, like jobs, the economy, college affordability and the environment. That’s why the Student PIRGs are working to make sure that students turn out to the polls in a big way on Election Day, so we can raise our voice on the issues we care about. Together we can make a difference.

We believe that for our democracy to work, young people need to be engaged. For forty years, the Student PIRGs have built a legacy of recruiting, training, and inspiring young people to participate in democracy. The Student PIRGs’ New Voters Project is the largest non-partisan, on-the-ground young voter mobilization effort in the nation. Since 1984, we have helped to register more than 1.7 million young voters and made over one million personalized get-out-the-vote contacts.

The New Voters Project Campus Organizers will:
• Run a non-partisan voter registration and turnout campaign in a campus community. Campus Organizers recruit and train a cadre of volunteers to register 18-29 year olds, collect pledges to vote from 18-29 year olds who are already registered to vote, and contact all of these young people to turn out to vote on Election Day.
• Educate students and train new leaders. Campus Organizers teach citizenship and organizing skills. Campus Organizers also oversee an internship program, through which students can earn academic course credit for their work to boost youth voter engagement.
• Build a coalition. Campus Organizers work with student volunteers and interns to build a diverse, invested coalition of organizations and people, such as the student government, college president, College Republicans, College Democrats and others, to boost youth voter turnout.
Qualifications: The ideal candidate has strong in-person communication skills and experience with grassroots organizing tactics such as petitioning, phone-calling, or canvassing. Leadership experience with campus groups or student government is a plus. Applicants should be driven by the idea of working on a huge, non-partisan youth voter mobilization project, capable of taking on leadership, and ready to work 50-70 hour weeks. We are looking for a commitment through November 2014.
Salary & Training: In an entry level position, you will earn $24,500 in your first year on staff. In addition, full-time staff can opt into our state health care coverage, are eligible for paid sick and vacation days, and can apply for our college loan assistance program. Our staff accrue two weeks of vacation by the end of their first year and three weeks by the end of their second year. Staff are also eligible to join our 401(k) program in their second year.
Locations: We are hiring Campus Organizers in Colorado, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas
Application: Submit your cover letter and resume online by September 20, 2014. We'll carefully consider your application and if we think you may be a good fit, we'll be in touch.
