About Vermont Conservation Voters

Founded in 1982, Vermont Conservation Voters (VCV) is a non-partisan, non-profit, statewide, environmental organization working to elect environmentally-friendly candidates to public office. We endorse candidates for public office who have a track record of supporting our environmental values. Via political action committees, we help elect endorsed candidates using a range of strategies including financial support, mail, canvassing, and coordinating phone banks. We advocate for strong environmental laws and hold elected officials accountable for the decisions they make affecting our air, water, wildlife, land, communities, and health. 

Summary

VCV is seeking a passionate and dedicated organizing fellow to support our elections work, volunteer management, and membership outreach. This role provides a unique opportunity to connect with Vermont voters about the important issues facing our state and help elect pro-environment champions that will advocate for better protections for our environment and the health of our communities. This position will be focused on both elections and issue based organizing throughout the year
