Campaign Associate, Non-Profit & Social Impact

Campaign Associate

Alaska Environment is hiring a Campaign Associate to help advance campaigns to protect Alaska’s air, water, wildlife, and climate in addition to more broadly winning hearts and minds for a more sustainable future. Right now, our energy sources are polluting our air and water, warming our climate and oceans, and putting important habitats and wildlife at risk. A disposable culture is creating microplastics and introducing other pollutants into our air and water that can hurt Alaskans and our wildlife.

Adopting renewable energy and setting up economies that do not require endless extraction of resources or create endless streams of pollution can improve the quality of our lives and protect everything from our children’s lungs to the fish that fill our freezers and the beautiful landscapes we call home.

The Alaska Environment Associate will work with Alaska Environment’s director and our national program team as well as with our organizers, stakeholders and key coalition allies to build momentum and expand support for campaigns that will help build a sustainable future for Alaska.
