We’re the country’s most respected training program for environmental organizers.  Are you determined to make the biggest positive impact you can on issues like climate change and clean water, but you don’t know where to start? Green Corps offers a yearlong, paid training program that will prepare you for a career in environmental organizing. Here’s how it works:  Learn Skills from Environmental Leaders  You’ll participate in eight weeks of intensive classroom training conducted by environmental organizers and leaders from a wide range of organizations and campaigns, such as Bill McKibben of 350.org.  Our staff and trainers present overviews on the biggest issues facing our environment, as well as more specific trainings on proven organizing tactics. Topics include volunteer recruitment, campaign planning, public speaking and much more. You’ll learn how to run campaigns that inspire the public and build organizations and political support needed to save our planet. Hands-On Experience on Real Campaigns  The bulk of your training will come through hands-on experience working on behalf of organizations such as The Wilderness Society, Oceana and Mighty Earth. You will use the skills you learn in your classroom training to work on some of the most pressing issues of the day. Over the course of the year, you’ll lead three to five different campaigns in communities across the country. By working with several different campaign partners, you’ll gain experience tackling a diversity of issues and working in a variety of communities.  Last fall, for example, seven organizers worked on behalf of Mighty Earth to push for more sustainable practices within the meat industry, developing more than 70 volunteer leaders to continue the campaigns going forward. In the spring, another Green Corps team worked with PennEnvironment to encourage the Pennsylvania Legislature to commit to 100 percent renewable energy, mobilizing hundreds of people from across the state to attend a lobby day at the state Capitol.  Launch Your Organizing Career   After completing the training program, you will be connected to groups looking to hire full-time staff. Our alumni are at work today on everything from overseeing campaigns for Sierra Club, to promoting rainforest protection on a global scale, to protecting local places from Lake Tahoe to Appalachian forests. Thanks to Green Corps’ rigorous training program and the great need for trained organizers in many social change organizations, Green Corps organizers are often able to find professional positions immediately after completing the program.  Location and Compensation   The target annual compensation for this position is $28,000 in the first year. Green Corps offers a competitive benefits package. We also offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement.  Green Corps organizers go where the fight is, and wherever they can make the biggest impact. They could work on campaigns almost anywhere in the country, and while location preferences are considered for placements, we require all organizers to be geographically flexible.

Please read this packet for more detailed information about the volunteer role: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NKukABuKvHSuDKmf5XNSSWKpzi08I5W6/view   Location: Remote, wherever you are in the World Deadline: No deadline   About Us:   WearthWhile seeks to reconnect humanity back to Earth by addressing the issues facing the environment and, consequently, those in it. Work in the humanities is a real path for change because political marketing doesn’t appeal to people’s emotions the way that art and stories do. And it seems like getting people to connect to their own humanity and feelings is essential to our ability to connect and have compassion for others. We don’t want to distract, overwhelm, or create burden by adding more to social media with the endless stories surrounding the social sphere; the intention is to replace the focus back on the faces of the change. We don’t expect to approach society as what we think we want them to think, but instead what we want them to do and let them form what they should do. This is an intergenerational fight. We don’t want to have reform that will end climate change and environmental struggles by 80%. We want 100% improvement. To humanize the lives of climate change. To put a face to its impacts. To shine a light on the mostly unseen. | Social photography … let there be light.          WearthWhile embodies social photography to shine a light on stories that aren’t accessible to the public. Our aim is to create a tool that primes for a social reform or even a revolutionary movement. To be a part of that transition to fundamentally change how society views climate change and what is being done about it. The photoblog platform establishes positive and progressive discussion; at the heart of that is to include and recognize that people have feelings, experiences, beliefs and inner conflicts that influence the way they perceive and assimilate information. The internet offers opportunities for greater transparency and public participation into our changing climate.    Description   At WearthWhile, this is a collective effort. You will be a part of a team of people across the world contributing to stories. This enables us to get as many diverse stories as possible. Below broadly describes key accountabilities, skills and experiences to become a volunteer.   Expectations Motivation: You have an incentive for contributing to the understanding of climate change and environment problems. Commitment : You’re willing and committed to contribute at least 2 stories every month to display on the website and social media platforms. Promoting: Getting these stories out there means promoting the stories every which way we can. Share with your friends, on Facebook, get people involved in the discussion. Volunteering: There is no profit made from this. This is purely to get stories out there and at no point will there be any profit made. There may be opportunities to fundraise for your local community who are impacted by climate change in the future. Trust: Being involved in this membership is built on trust and honest transparency of the stories you’re obtaining.  Quality over quantity: I anticipate that photos capture the moment, the person, the experience and are of quality and aren’t rushed and that stories show an integration of your interest in learning more about them, whether by asking them relevant questions and making them feel heard.   Safety : When interviewing strangers, it can be nerve-wracking! But your safety is first. Whether in a big city or traveling somewhere new, always take precaution approaching strangers. Build on your understanding : Maintaining an open mind, being approachable, non-judgmental, and actively listen to these stories you’re obtaining.    Requirements    An ability to speak, read, and write English [need not be fluent or your first language]. Another language is highly beneficial (i.e., Spanish, French, etc). An operating camera and internet access. An ability to translate between your language and English [optional]. A basic understanding of climate change and its contemporary problems is beneficial. Commitment to submitting a story at least 2 days a month. Personal motivation to aid in climate change action. An open-mind and approachable attitude.   How to apply   Read through the packet.

Location : Barcelona or New York preferred / other locations considered   Position Overview: The recent IPCC Special Report on global warming of 1.5°C starkly emphasizes the urgency of addressing all sources of greenhouse gas emissions including by aggressive pursuit of natural climate solutions. The protection and restoration of tropical forests is one of the most significant opportunities to mitigate climate change over the coming decades.  Alongside political and regulatory efforts, the challenge is to create market mechanisms and mobilise finance at the necessary scale.  After more than a decade of progress on the technical and policy framework for verifying forest carbon credits (known as REDD+ credits), there is now a historic opportunity to turn this vision into a reality. With support from the government of Norway, and partnerships in place with the Environmental Defense Fund, the Rockefeller Foundation and the David & Lucile Packard Foundation, the Emergent Forest Finance Accelerator (“Emergent”) has been created to respond to this opportunity.  Emergent will “prime the pump” for a high-integrity, high-volume REDD+ market by acting as an aggregator and intermediary to help overcome barriers for both buyers and sellers. On the demand side, Emergent will provide reliable access to jurisdictional REDD+ carbon credits for public and private buyers in both the regulatory and voluntary carbon markets.  On the supply side, it will provide forest nations with a guaranteed source of demand for their REDD+ credits, by facilitating access to a range of high-volume buyers.  Emergent will act as a principal in transactions and deal exclusively in credits issued under the new TREES standard.  This is focused on tropical forest protection at national or sub-national (“jurisdictional”) scale, with the ambition to catalyse very substantial flows of private sector funds underwritten by sovereign guarantees. Emergent was registered in 2019 as a not-for-profit entity (a US-registered 501(c)(4)), has a board and an executive director, and is now building the team able to rise to the jurisdictional REDD+ challenge.  Reporting to the Executive Director, the Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) is a critical role.  The role holder will have significant autonomy within a small, high-performing team to shape and catalyse a new market, with the potential for a profound impact on climate change and our environment.  The CCO will be expected to work closely with Emergent’s Chief Operations & Strategy Officer (COSO), who is primarily responsible for defining Emergent’s transactions architecture and business model.  The CCO’s primary responsibility will be on Emergent’s business development strategy and execution.  This includes shaping the go-to-market strategy, leading relationship development and negotiating sales of carbon credits both direct and through channel partnerships.  We expect buyers will include industry consortia, airlines, energy companies, public sector clients (eg metropolitan authorities) and, in time, potentially retail customers.  The CCO will also play an important role in supply side transactions with the jurisdictional programmes that generate REDD+ credits.  The CCO will also be deeply involved in Emergent’s research and industry engagement activities. The holder of this role will interact with a range of businesses including sophisticated carbon market participants, and, along with the Executive Director, be the face of Emergent in the evolving REDD+ space.  Emergent is a global team, so candidates will preferably be based in New York or Barcelona, with other locations considered. The CCO will manage a small team that they will have considerable freedom in shaping, recruiting and developing, working closely with the Executive Director. Requirements We seek a dynamic, charismatic, entrepreneurial leader who can develop and articulate a compelling case for high-quality forest carbon credits in general, and for Emergent in particular, that inspires businesses to see Emergent as a critical partner in meeting their compliance market obligations or voluntary climate commitments. Broad business development experience, with demonstrated success in managing a pipeline and closing sales, ideally in environmental commodity transactions with corporate buyers.  Experience preparing, negotiating and executing multi-million-dollar proposals and contracts.  (The boundaries of responsibility in this regard between the CCO and COSO will be agreed in discussion with the Executive Director.) Proven track record of success in working and negotiating with senior international clients in the public and private sector. Charismatic presence; excellent interpersonal, presentation, and communication skills. Passion for the mission of Emergent and the application of innovative financial structures to address global issues.    Familiarity with global financial markets and development funders and financial institutions. Familiarity with international climate policy, including UNFCCC, Paris Agreement, etc. Experience and familiarity with portfolio management of carbon assets A high level of personal integrity and credibility at all levels within Emergent and partner organisations. Advanced analytical and numerical competency. Willing and able to work within a small team startup environment at both strategic and detailed levels to develop innovative solutions to a wide range of challenges. Ability to thrive in an entrepreneurial and often virtual team environment. Ability to deliver consistently high levels of accuracy, efficiency and follow-through. Ability to travel internationally at short notice. Expertise and existing networks in the carbon markets and/or REDD+ a plus; otherwise, willingness and ability to move rapidly up the learning curve. Minimum 10 years’ work experience in a relevant client-facing environment (e.g., contract negotiation, sales, corporate advisory). BA/BS and relevant graduate (MBA, MPA, etc) or master’s degree, or equivalent experience. Responsibilities Oversee and develop a pipeline of opportunities on both the supply and demand sides of the market for TREES credits. Lead development and execution of a demand strategy that will drive high volumes of credits through Emergent, including direct sales and development of channel partnerships. Portfolio management of Emergent’s carbon assets. Maintain a profile as a thought leader and brand ambassador in the emerging REDD+ sector, and the climate sector more broadly. As a member of the leadership team, play a substantial role in the development and profile of Emergent as an organisation, including our strategy, development of our business model and plans, building our team and establishing and managing strategic partnerships.  Lead development of marketing materials, proposals, pitch documents, etc. Manage prospective buyer and seller engagement and relationship development. Develop and manage relationships with key buyers, including leading development of concept notes, structuring documents etc for use in negotiations. Lead development of financial models and transaction templates, working closely with the COSO and Emergent’s legal support team. Manage structured negotiations and transaction documentation through to closing. Manage a growing team in a dynamic environment. Manage relationships with external parties such as legal counsel.

COLORADO CLIMATE DEFENDER ORGANIZER  Colorado has suffered from the effects of climate change with drought, wildfire, and an unreliable snowpack. With snow - related and river-related recreation as two huge pieces of the economy, Coloradans are feeling the economic effects. The 2018 wildfire season was terrifying, putting farms, homes, and lives in danger.  The good news is that Environment Colorado has been working to cut global warming pollution for decades and we've made progress from cleaner cars on the road to boosting solar and wind power. Unfortunately, crucial victories have come under attack from the Trump administration. We won't let that hold us back in Colorado or across the country . We're drawing a line in the sand to stop the Trump administration from rolling back climate and clean air protections from the Clean Power Plan to clean cars.  If we are going to be successful in fundamentally changing the way that we power our country, we are going to need every elected official who believes in the science of climate change and who wants to see us take it on to be vocal in their support and call on other elected leaders to do the same. And we need them to make this stand as loudly as possible to make it clear that supporting climate action is good policy and good politics.  The Job Description  Colorado's Climate Defender Organizers are responsible for recruiting, developing and mobilizing powerful teams of concerned Coloradans to become climate volunteers in critical communities and on college campuses across the state.  As a Climate Defender Organizer, you will work with our existing network of members and activists, and expand volunteer teams in key political areas and on college campuses to ensure support from local decision-makers for climate action. Whether it's educational events, rallies, or bringing Coloradans to meet one-on-one with their elected officials, you and your volunteers will push decision-makers to lead on climate change.  You'll coordinate regular meetings between local decision-makers and constituents; coordinate rapid response media to highlight climate impacts and hold public officials accountable; and help collect thousands of petitions and personal letters on climate change.  By the end of the campaign, you will have built volunteer teams in key areas that can continue the fight for Colorado's environment for years to come.  Training  There will be a week-long training near the beginning of the campaign. We will also hold periodic trainings on advanced skills for organizers.  Qualifications  We're seeking applicants who are ready to commit their time, talent and passion to advocating, organizing and recruiting new leaders to protect the environment.

IOWA CLIMATE DEFENDER ORGANIZER The Campaign Iowa has suffered from the effects of climate change with flooding, rising humidity, habitat changes, and increased air pollution. The good news is that Environment Iowa has been working to cut global warming pollution for decades and we’ve made progress from cleaner cars on the road to boosting solar and wind power. Unfortunately, crucial victories have come under attack from the Trump administration. We won’t let that hold us back in Iowa or across the country. We’re drawing a line in the sand to stop the Trump administration from rolling back climate and clean air protections from the Clean Power Plan to clean cars. If we are going to be successful in fundamentally changing the way that we power our country, we are going to need every elected official who believes in the science of climate change and who wants to see us take it on to be vocal in their support and call on other elected leaders to do the same. And we need them to make this stand as loudly as possible—to make it clear that supporting climate action is good policy and good politics. The Job Description Environment Iowa’s Climate Defender Organizers are responsible for recruiting, developing and mobilizing powerful teams of concerned Iowans to become climate volunteers in critical communities and on college campuses across the state. As a Climate Defender Organizer, you will work with our existing network of members and activists, and expand volunteer teams in key political areas and on college campuses to ensure support from local decision-makers for climate action. Whether it’s educational events, rallies, or bringing Iowans to meet one-on-one with their elected officials, you and your volunteers will push decision-makers to lead on climate change. You’ll coordinate regular meetings between local decision-makers and constituents; coordinate rapid response media to highlight climate impacts and hold public officials accountable; and help collect thousands of petitions and personal letters on climate change. By the end of the campaign, you will have built volunteer teams in key areas that can continue the fight for Iowa’s environment for years to come. Training There will be a week-long training in Denver, CO at the beginning of the campaign. We will also hold periodic trainings on advanced skills for organizers. Qualifications We’re seeking applicants who are ready to commit their time, talent and passion to advocating, organizing and recruiting new leaders to protect the environment. We look for smarts, organizing experience and an eagerness to learn. We value leadership experience of all kinds, especially organizing, grassroots outreach and building campus groups. Candidates must have excellent judgment and discretion and the ability to oversee significant projects. APPLY NOW Positions will be filled on a rolling basis. Organizers will start as soon as possible. The position requires a commitment through the end of June 2020. Organizers may have an opportunity to be placed on election projects with one of our partner groups at the end of the campaign.
