Are you an ambitious organizer with canvassing experience looking to take your political work into a leadership role?

We are hiring passionate environmentalists and activists to help build grassroots momentum around environmental public advocacy campaigns! During election years, we work hard to do the same for strong progressive candidates at the local, state and federal level.

Clean Water Action is dedicated to building a movement of strong environmental leaders. We are hiring activists that wish to grow within the organization and the movement. Our Grassroots Management Trainee positions are open to those who want to select the fast-track to develop into Field Managers and Canvass Directors.

In order to be an effective ally and partner in environmental justice work, Clean Water Action has also turned inward in an effort to identify and remove potentially racist structures and policies. We want to create a culture that allows all people to thrive and grow within the organization. It is through this effort that our staff can resemble the communities in which we organize. Furthermore, a diverse staff will result in more varied and effective approaches to our campaign objectives and strategies.
