Who We Are:
The Nature Conservancy’s mission is to protect the lands and waters upon which all life depends. As a science-based organization, we create innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world’s toughest challenges so that we can create a world in which people and nature thrive. We’re rooted in our Mission and guided by our Values, which includes a Commitment to Diversity and Respect for People, Communities, and Cultures. Whether it’s career development, flexible schedules, or a rewarding mission, there’s lots of reasons to love life #insideTNC. Want a better insight to TNC? Check out our TNC Talent playlist on YouTube or on Glassdoor .
Our goal is to cultivate an inclusive work environment so that all our colleagues around the globe feel a sense of belonging, and that their unique contributions to our mission are valued. We know we’ll only achieve our Mission by hiring and engaging a diverse workforce that reflects the communities in which we work. In addition to the requirements in our postings, we recognize that people come with talent and experiences outside of a job. Diversity of experience and skills combined with passion is a key to innovation and a culture of inclusion! Please apply – we’d love to hear from you. To quote myriad TNC staff members, “you’ll join for our mission, and you’ll stay for our people.”
Latin America is home to 40% of the world’s species, a third of its freshwater, a quarter of its forests and 25% of arable land. Its forests are essential to the health of our warming planet, and its lands provide 16% of the world’s food and agriculture exports. Functional ecosystems are the engine of Latin America´s economic growth and play a pivotal role in meeting global demand for food, water and energy. Simply put, there is no place more important for plant and animal diversity, climate regulation and the global economy than Latin America. But Latin America is at a turning point. Climate change, biodiversity loss, alarming deforestation and over exploitation of oceans and watersheds are straining these critical natural systems. This is why The Nature Conservancy is driving systems innovation strategies to mainstream the role of nature in socio-economic sustainable development for the region. Our work in Latin America is projected to significantly contribute to TNC’s 2030 overall goals: they anticipate meeting 50% of TNC’s overall climate goal, 22% of the lands goal, and 25% of the freshwater rivers goal.
The Nature Conservancy works in 9 countries across Latin America. We have the experience, knowledge and partnerships needed to develop, implement, and scale strategies that reconcile sustainable development with conservation. Our science shows us that this decade (2020-2030) offers a window of profound opportunity to change course and achieve a more sustainable future for people and nature.

To quote myriad TNC staff members, “you’ll join for our mission, and you’ll stay for our people.”
Latin America is home to 40% of the world’s species, a third of its freshwater, a quarter of its forests and 25% of arable land. Its forests are essential to the health of our warming planet, and its lands provide 16% of the world’s food and agriculture exports. Functional ecosystems are the engine of Latin America´s economic growth and play a pivotal role in meeting global demand for food, water and energy. Simply put, there is no place more important for plant and animal diversity, climate regulation and the global economy than Latin America. But Latin America is at a turning point. Climate change, biodiversity loss, alarming deforestation and over exploitation of oceans and watersheds are straining these critical natural systems. This is why The Nature Conservancy is driving systems innovation strategies to mainstream the role of nature in socio-economic sustainable development for the region. Our work in Latin America is projected to significantly contribute to TNC’s 2030 overall goals: they anticipate meeting 50% of TNC’s overall climate goal, 22% of the lands goal, and 25% of the freshwater rivers goal.
The Nature Conservancy works in 9 countries across Latin America. We have the experience, knowledge and partnerships needed to develop, implement, and scale strategies that reconcile sustainable development with conservation. Our science shows us that this decade (2020-2030) offers a window of profound opportunity to change course and achieve a more sustainable future for people and nature.

National Wildlife Federation
Ann Arbor, MI; Detroit, MI; or Chicago, IL
Founded in 1936, the National Wildlife Federation has grown into America's largest and most trusted grassroots conservation organization with 52 state/territorial affiliates and more than six million members and supporters, including hunters, anglers, gardeners, birders, hikers, campers, paddlers, and outdoor enthusiasts of all ages and stripes. The mission of the National Wildlife Federation is to unite all Americans to ensure wildlife thrive in our rapidly changing world. We advance this mission through programming focused on conserving wildlife, restoring habitats and waterways, expanding outdoor opportunities, connecting children with nature, advancing environmental justice, and addressing the causes and consequences of climate change.
The National Wildlife Federation (NWF)’s Great Lakes Regional Center (GLRC) is a leading voice for the protection and restoration of the Great Lakes. We are one of the only Great Lakes organizations that combine policy, legal, communications, educational, and scientific expertise to educate decision makers, inform public policy, and conduct public outreach efforts, working multiple communities to lift up shared priorities. We are trusted conveners and collaborators, leveraging the strengths of multiple sectors and organizations to achieve direct results for the Great Lakes. We are centering equity and justice throughout our work and partnerships, and have significantly adjusted our scope of work to incorporate a deeper focus on water affordability and access in addition to environmental justice concerns about drinking water quality.
In the wake of the ongoing lead poisoning, wide-spread contamination from unregulated “forever chemicals” (such as PFAS) and structural inequities in access to clean, affordable water in the Great Lakes region, particularly for communities of color, the GLRC is building and expanding our work to ensure that all communities in the Great Lakes region have access to clean, safe water. As our Drinking Water Policy Coordinator you will coordinate campaigns focused on water infrastructure and affordability, access to clean water for all, and threats to drinking water and wildlife from emerging chemicals of concern (like PFAS). This work will include coordinating closely with the many Coalitions and Networks NWF is involved in to ensure strategic alignment and collaboration on drinking water issues at the state and federal levels.

Full time
Founded in 1936, the National Wildlife Federation has grown into America's largest and most trusted grassroots conservation organization with 52 state/territorial affiliates and more than six million members and supporters, including hunters, anglers, gardeners, birders, hikers, campers, paddlers, and outdoor enthusiasts of all ages and stripes. The mission of the National Wildlife Federation is to unite all Americans to ensure wildlife thrive in our rapidly changing world. We advance this mission through programming focused on conserving wildlife, restoring habitats and waterways, expanding outdoor opportunities, connecting children with nature, advancing environmental justice, and addressing the causes and consequences of climate change.
The National Wildlife Federation (NWF)’s Great Lakes Regional Center (GLRC) is a leading voice for the protection and restoration of the Great Lakes. We are one of the only Great Lakes organizations that combine policy, legal, communications, educational, and scientific expertise to educate decision makers, inform public policy, and conduct public outreach efforts, working multiple communities to lift up shared priorities. We are trusted conveners and collaborators, leveraging the strengths of multiple sectors and organizations to achieve direct results for the Great Lakes. We are centering equity and justice throughout our work and partnerships, and have significantly adjusted our scope of work to incorporate a deeper focus on water affordability and access in addition to environmental justice concerns about drinking water quality.
In the wake of the ongoing lead poisoning, wide-spread contamination from unregulated “forever chemicals” (such as PFAS) and structural inequities in access to clean, affordable water in the Great Lakes region, particularly for communities of color, the GLRC is building and expanding our work to ensure that all communities in the Great Lakes region have access to clean, safe water. As our Drinking Water Policy Coordinator you will coordinate campaigns focused on water infrastructure and affordability, access to clean water for all, and threats to drinking water and wildlife from emerging chemicals of concern (like PFAS). This work will include coordinating closely with the many Coalitions and Networks NWF is involved in to ensure strategic alignment and collaboration on drinking water issues at the state and federal levels. You will report to the Associate Director of the GLRC and work closely with the Great Lakes Policy Director and the Regional Executive Director to develop and advocate for strong policies and practices to ensure safe, clean drinking water within the region and to provide strategic support on high priority drinking water policy needs for the GLRC.
