PennEnvironment 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.

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.
