Program Manager

Transform is California’s leading advocate for healthy, connected communities with affordable transportation and housing choices. For over two decades, we’ve worked to ensure that people of all incomes thrive in a world safe from climate chaos.

We envision vibrant, inclusive neighborhoods transformed by sustainable mobility options and affordable housing, where communities historically impacted by racist disinvestment have power and voice. Our approach is to empower communities of color, innovate solutions, and advocate for policies and funding – all with the aim of helping people thrive and averting climate disaster.

• Winning transformative investments in climate and equity
  : by pushing for much greater investment in sustainable transportation and affordable housing, Transform is creating a future that enables people to live closer to jobs that makes transit, biking, and walking/rolling the easy choice.
• Normalize transit, biking, walking, and rolling
  :
  Transform builds people’s knowledge and resources, and shifts how they feel about mobility options, so that they begin to see transit, biking, walking, and rolling as viable choices, and, eventually, as completely normal and expected.
• Housing as a climate strategy
  :
  Transform creates innovative housing and parking solutions that encourage sustainable transportation and healthy, active communities so that suburban and urban residents alike can rely less on driving.

Transform is a dynamic, collaborative, and inclusive organization. Our team works closely with partners at the local, regional, and state levels to create healthier, more connected, and equitable communities. We value work-life balance, personal well-being, and a supportive team culture.

We are a team of 12 staff committed to diversity, equity, and justice, both within our organization and through our work. Our values include: collaboration/listening, creativity, transparency, equity, trust, excellence, and shared leadership. Learn more about us in our strategic plan .
