FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT, OUR DEMOCRACY, OUR FUTURE.
Impact is a non-profit project of leading advocacy organizations,
including Environment America and USPIRG, that creates the grassroots
action and power it takes to make an impact on issues that matter. We’re
hiring a team of organizers for a two-year program.
Organizers currently work in 25 states. We’re working with national
campaigns to get our country to 100 percent renewable energy, reduce
corporate agriculture’s pollution of our water, and end the overuse of
antibiotics on factory farms.
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IMPACT
What will you do with Impact? First, you’ll come together with other new
and experienced staff from across the country to learn how to make your
impact in classroom trainings on the issues, our campaigns, our
strategies and the tactics you’ll be using throughout the year. Then,
you’ll put those skills to use in the field.
Your campaign assignment will depend in part on where you applied to
work and where you can make the biggest difference. For example, you
might build the coalition that convinces a major restaurant to stop
serving meat raised on antibiotics. Or you could organize the news event
that convinces the governor in your state that switching to more
renewable energy is an opportunity to be a hero with the public.
Even when there’s not a vote coming up, organizing helps build long-term
power to secure victories in the future. By first educating people on
an issue and then winning them over to our point of view, we lay the
groundwork for political change. It’s challenging, fun and incredibly
meaningful. We’re taking on big issues and we’re up against big
adversaries. We run campaigns with concrete goals, detailed plans,
rigorous training, and above all, a laser-like focus on results.
HOW YOU’LL MAKE AN IMPACT
Every day with Impact is different. You could be connecting with new
health or consumer groups to build a coalition to stop antibiotic
overuse, speaking in a church basement or at a town hall meeting on 100
percent renewable energy, organizing a news event on water pollution
from factory farms, or meeting with an editorial board about any of
these issues.
During the summer, you’ll run a citizen outreach canvass—and have the
power of a paid staff of college students and others ready to help you
build support for an issue, recruit new members, and raise funds for the
campaign. And you’ll recruit the next wave of Impact organizers and
interns so we can continue to work on more campaigns. So if what you
want to do after college is to join a team of people who bring their
passion to work every day to make an impact on issues that matter, then
we’re the group for you.
PAY & BENEFITS
The target annual compensation for this position is $26,000 in the first
year. Impact offers a competitive benefits package. We also offer an
excellent training program and opportunities for advancement.
