Environment Georgia is hiring an entry‑level campaign associate to help lead our campaigns to increase solar energy in Georgia, protect the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge and other wild places in Georgia, and reduce plastic pollution.

We want more protected parks and forests, and clean water flowing in our rivers and streams. We want more wildlife in our world, from the whales off our coast to the bees in our garden, from the black bears in the forest to alligators in the Okefenokee.

Our Campaign Associate will work to help advance solutions in Georgia that protect special places and reduce pollution.

• Build powerful coalitions: Reach out to a broad range of organizations and affected constituency groups across the political spectrum to demonstrate support for our campaign goals.
• Earn traditional media and social media attention: Organize news conferences and write opinion pieces. Build a following on social media for your campaign.
• Organize events and work with volunteers: Organize webinars, community events and public meetings. Recruit organizations and members of the public to attend and participate.
• Lobby elected officials: Meet with decision makers— from city council members to state legislators— to make the case for our campaign goals. When a critical vote is happening on your campaign, work to demonstrate the support you’ve been building on the ground to help line up the votes needed to win.
• Research and write reports: Catalog and analyze data relevant to the issue and our policy proposals to help influence public debate and earn media attention for our cause.
• Recruit new people to your team: Help build your team by recruiting volunteers, interns and full‑time staff.
• Run a grassroots campaign office each summer: Run a campaign office for the summer, knocking on doors to raise money to support our campaigns, build our organization and membership, and help build critical and timely grassroots support to win key campaigns. Your responsibilities will include meeting your own fundraising goals and managing a team of paid staff. You may be assigned to a different office location for the summer and should be flexible to move.

Entry‑level candidates are encouraged to apply. Though we expect you to take your campaign and run with it, we provide training on advocacy and organizing skills, as well as oversight by an experienced advocate. Candidates must live in or be willing to relocate to Georgia. Ideal candidates will have:

• Passion for the environment and using the power of grassroots organizing to win campaigns
• Top‑notch writing and public speaking skills
• An eagerness to learn
• Organizing experience, including building campus or community groups

The target annual compensation for this entry‑level position is $38, in the first year. Environment Georgia offers a competitive benefits package. Our benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents, time off, a commuter benefit program, a 401(k) plan with employer match, parental leave, long‑term disability insurance, and may include needs‑based student loan assistance. We also offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement.

We are accepting applications on a rolling basis for immediate or summer 2026 start.
