Salary- $1700 – 2300, biweekly paid salary plus benefits

We’re hiring a Community Outreach Associate to work with people on place-based environmental issues via Public Lab’s Fellowship Teams, and engage individuals and partners online and offline to support environmental exploration. This person will support the work of our Sr. Program Director who is going on leave for three months at the end of May.

The Community Outreach Associate will support individuals and groups with pressing environmental concerns who are working for change in their community. This position helps to ensure that those who need assistance are able to find support through the larger Public Lab community. This position will also spearhead the management of Public Lab’s annual in-person gathering, the Barnraising.

We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate impact through organizing and base-building, as well as a strong racial, environmental, and climate justice lens. This position will primarily focus on supporting existing partnerships, such as the Fellowship Teams, and building new relationships at a distance, while intersecting with our other program teams, kits, research, education and web development, as needed.

This role is ideal for an early or mid-career organizer who wants to be part of a fast-moving team developing, advancing and sharing community science practices around the world. Our ideal candidate will work to build just, respectful relationships with individuals and partner organizations around our collective work, supporting a community of care with colleagues and collaborators. This is a role for someone who will elevate and center frontline communities, and build lasting relationships within Public Lab’s network.
