Clean Energy Fellow – Boston, MA

Become an Environment America Fellow

We know all about the damage we’re doing to the planet: climate change, plastic pollution, wildlife disappearing forever. But solutions are all around us: better solar panels, better energy storage technology, better electric cars, and on and on.

Our mission—the thing that drives everything we do—is to harness our country’s wealth, our technology and our imagination to make our world a greener, healthier and more sustainable place to live for all of us.

Imagine yourself organizing a town hall meeting on solar power. Or building a community coalition to keep local waters clean. Imagine building the organizational power—the funds, the membership, the activist base and more—that it takes to keep all of this critical work going for the long haul.

That’s what you’ll do with Environment America during this two-year fellowship program. We work to mobilize the support it takes to build more solar and wind power, reduce global warming pollution, keep our beaches, rivers and streams clean, protect our wildlife and wild places, and hold polluters accountable when they violate our environmental laws.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Build powerful coalitions: Reach out to small business owners, farmers, public health officials and others to demonstrate support for our policy goals
  • Earn traditional media and social media attention: Organize news conferences and write opinion pieces. Build a following on Facebook and Twitter for your campaigns
  • Lobby elected officials: Coordinate strategy with a champion in Congress. Make a convincing case to a legislator who is undecided on a particular vote. Work the “inside game” to complement our outside field operation, where most of our power is derived
  • Research and write reports: Catalogue and analyze sources of carbon pollution in the U.S. Detail the success of the Clean Water Act in our reports. Help influence public debate and earn media attention for our cause
  • Identify and cultivate donors: Reach out to foundations and major donors and ask them to fund our work to tackle global warming, promote clean energy, and protect our most spectacular natural areas
  • Run a grassroots campaign office each summer during your fellowship: Hire and manage a staff of 20 canvassers. Raise money, build our organization and membership, and help win one of our key campaigns

PAY & BENEFITS

The target annual compensation for this position is $27,000 in the first year. Environment America offers a competitive benefits package. We also offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement. Positions start in August 2019. Visit our website for our immediate openings.

Program Director – New Voters Project

New Voters Project Director

Do you envision a future where everyone has clean air and water and access to affordable health care; where it’s clear that all our voices matter; and everyone—even big corporations and billionaires—play by the same rules? If yes, then consider a job activating the largest voting block in the country.

The Student PIRGs are hiring a New Voters Project Director to run one of the nation’s largest youth field programs.

The 2020 elections are right around the corner and the people elected will make decisions about issues we care about—like jobs, the economy, college affordability and the environment.

It’s our future, let’s vote on it.

One thing is for sure, the stakes are high and together, we have the power to elect the next generation of leadership who care about the things we do, and will fight for our vision for the future, but only if young people vote.

This generation is the largest and most diverse group of potential voters in the country, with their own values and ideas. Ensuring a strong turnout among young people is the first step to making sure our elected officials fight for the public’s’ interest.

The New Voters Project Director will work with staff and students across the country to activate the largest voting block in the country. Core responsibilities include:

  • Manage a field program that will recruit, train & develop over 40 staff and 8,000 student volunteers, and make over a million personal reminder contacts leading up to Election Day.
  • Cultivate relationships with donors and foundations to raise over $1 million annually to support the program.
  • Partner with leading researchers & analytics, testing new models, and advancing our technology to develop best practices around voter registration and get out the vote programs.
  • Serve as the spokesperson for the campaign in the media, with coalition partners and at conferences and trainings.

ABOUT THE STUDENT PIRGS’ NEW VOTERS PROJECT:

For almost fifty years, we’ve built a legacy of recruiting, training, and inspiring young people to engage in democracy. We believe that for our democracy to work, young people need to be engaged. And the first step to engaging young people is exercising their voice at the polls. The 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.
