Greenpeace Field Organizer
You: A passionate grassroots organizer who is ready to do what it takes to solve some of the world’s worst environmental problems and to hold corporations and the government accountable. You want to make elected officials pay attention to the people they represent instead of powerful corporate interests and hold corporations accountable for their environmental crimes.

Us: Greenpeace was founded in 1971 by a small group of activists standing up to nuclear testing off the Alaskan Coast. These daring few effectively won a total ban on nuclear testing and launched Greenpeace’s legacy of “bearing witness” to environmental abuse. We continue to use non-violent direct action, creative confrontation, and grassroots organizing to build solutions to global warming, toxic pollution, the threat of nuclear energy expansion, and destruction of our ancient forests and oceans. Today, Greenpeace has 2.5 million members in 40 countries, and continues to lead the way to a clean and peaceful planet. And we’re hiring field organizers to join the good fight.

Job Scope and Responsibilities:
A Greenpeace Field Organizer is passionate, driven, strategic, and thrives in a fast-paced environment. You can quickly and effectively inspire communities to demand change from grocery chains selling threatened fish species or from shoes companies sourcing their leather from cattle ranchers clearing away tropical forests. You empower people to challenge their elected officials to make local chemical plants safer and to expose the polluter lobbyists who are undermining science-based climate legislation. You are happy wearing a suit to a morning lobby meeting with key allies and a local member of Congress, only to get paint on an old pair of jeans that evening while painting a banner with local volunteers.

Specific responsibilities include:
Recruit, train, and develop volunteers into strong grassroots activists
Build lasting relationships with a variety of strategic allies
Plan and execute education and outreach events
Generate media coverage on Greenpeace issues
Build relationships with elected officials to ensure long-term action
Implement campaign tactics pressuring decision makers to become champions on key issues
Quickly develop knowledge of Greenpeace issues
Other responsibilities as required by the Field Organizing Director

Skills and accomplishments:
Two years of grassroots organizing experience preferred
Able to inspire a diverse group of people
Strong communication skills - written and oral
Critical thinking and time-management skills
Able to keep a level head in a fast-paced campaign environment
Commitment to grassroots organizing and non-violent direct action as a means of effecting change

Organization Profile:

Room to Read seeks to transform the lives of millions of children in developing countries by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education.
