    Environment Colorado

    Conservation and Wildlife Campaign Associate

    Denver, CO

    Environment Colorado is seeking an entry-level campaign associate to help lead our campaigns to protect Colorado’s majestic landscapes, waterways and wildlife.

    We want more places where we can hike, bike and jog among trees and wildflowers. We want more mountaintops where we can see nothing but forest below, more rivers that flow wild and free. We want more wildlife in our world, from the wolverine on the ridgeline to the bee in our garden, from the mountain lion in the forest to the butterfly in our backyard.

    Our Conservation and Wildlife Campaign Associate will work to help advance solutions in Colorado that protect special places and critical wildlife including reducing pesticide use that undermines bees and pollinators.

    Key Responsibilities

    • 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 persuasive campaign materials: 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 recruiting volunteers, interns and full-time staff.
    • Run a grassroots campaign office each summer: Run a campaign office for the summer to raise money to support our campaigns, build our organization and membership, and help build critical and timely grassroots support to win key campaigns while honing your organizing and management skills. You may be assigned to a different office location for the summer and should be flexible to move.

    Qualifications

    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.

    Ideal candidates will have:

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

    Compensation and Benefits

    The target annual compensation for this position is $38,180. Environment Colorado offers an excellent benefits package. Our benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents, paid 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.

    Location: Denver, CO

    We are accepting applications for positions starting immediately or in Summer 2025.

    About Environment Colorado

    Environment Colorado is part of Environment America. Environment America is a policy and action group working to tackle the most profound problem of our time: a way of living that is depleting and destabilizing the natural world.

    We’re advocates for energy conservation and renewable power, so we can keep oil in the ground and stop burning fossil fuels. We’re champions of plastic reduction, so nothing we use for a few minutes is allowed to pollute our oceans for centuries. And we’re defenders of wildlife and wild places, both for their own sake as well as the awe and wonder they bring to our lives.

    Environment America and our national network of 30 state environmental groups work to improve our quality of life by reducing the pollution and other harms of how we produce, consume and dispose of more and more stuff. And we do it one step at a time, by winning results for clean air, clean water, clean energy, wildlife, open spaces, and a livable climate that make a tangible difference in people's lives and our environment.

    Our Mission and Values

    Environment Colorado and Environment America are part of The Public Interest Network, which operates and supports organizations committed to a shared vision of a better world and a strategic approach to social change.
