Company Description

Citizens Campaign for the Environment is New York and Connecticut's most effective grassroots environmental organization with over 120,000 members. For over 35 years, CCE has engaged in extensive grassroots organizing, public education, research and lobbying leading us to success on critical campaigns that protect public health and the environment. Our goal is to increase the public's influence in the political process by offering members opportunities to get involved, and thereby advancing a strong environmental agenda.

Job Description

CCE is looking for outgoing and positive candidates with strong communications skills who are passionate about protecting the environment and making a difference. Policy Outreach Staff are integral in maintaining CCE’s personal relationships with our members which allows these campaigns to be successful. As part of our team, you will call members to educate, fundraise, and organize them around urgent environmental and public health campaigns. No experience needed! We will provide two weeks of paid training in which you will learn about the campaigns and fundraising strategies. It’s also a great opportunity for current college students or recent graduates who are looking for an entry level position to break into the nonprofit world to jump start their career. Why wait for change? You can be part of the change by inspiring our members to act on the local level ensuring their voices are heard to push forth meaningful environmental legislation.
 

Current Campaign:
In New York, failing sewage infrastructure has jeopardized public health, closed beaches, and damaged our local economies. Additionally, our deteriorating drinking water infrastructure has resulted in communities facing more water main breaks and contamination every year. The state has estimated that it will cost approximately $80 billion over the next 20 years to upgrade our sewage and drinking water infrastructure. 

Since 2017, New York has allocated $5 billion towards the Clean Water Infrastructure Act. These funds have helped treat emerging contaminants in our drinking water, replace lead service lines, upgrade failing septic systems, and improve sewage treatment plants. This is a step in the right direction, but there's still much work to be done. We are pressuring Governor Hochul, and the legislature to include $600 million for the Clean Water Infrastructure Act in this year's state budget protecting our drinking water, environment and public health!
