About Envirovoters
The climate crisis is here — and Black, Indigenous, and people of color have been bearing the burden of our pollution-based economy for generations. We have the solutions to stop climate change, but we lack the political will to act at the rate and scale needed.
EnviroVoters exists to build that political will. We organize voters, elect and train candidates, and hold lawmakers accountable for bold policy change. Our vision is resilient, healthy, thriving communities, and a democracy and economy that is just and sustainable for all.
Our core values — Equity, Courage, Integrity, Compassion, Impact, and Learning — are not aspirational language. They shape how we work, how we lead, and how we show up for one another and for the communities we serve.
OUR COMMITMENT TO EQUITY AND INCLUSION
EnviroVoters and EnviroVoters Ed Fund have a deep commitment to equity and fostering a culture of inclusion. EnviroVoters invites and encourages applications from all qualified individuals, including groups that are traditionally underrepresented in employment, who may contribute to further diversification of our organization.
As part of this commitment, we will ensure that people with disabilities are provided with reasonable accommodation. If reasonable accommodation is needed to participate in the job application or interview process and to perform essential job functions, please contact envirovotersjobs@envirovoters.org
We are equal opportunity employers and do not discriminate in hiring or employment based on race, color, religion, national origin, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law. We offer competitive salaries, generous benefits, and a pleasant working environment. Salary is based on a nonprofit scale and commensurate with experience.
