About Resolution Project
At Resolution Project, we see the spark of passion in young people. We work with them to build it into a lifetime of impact. People do not need decades of experience before they can start making a difference in the world. Especially while young, they have the energy, idealism, and ambition to address complex challenges—today. But they need a community that invests and believes in their leadership. Resolution provides this support to young innovators around the world so they can break barriers and ignite meaningful change.
The Resolution Fellowship is the core of our work. To become a Resolution Fellow, young people first compete in our Social Venture Challenge (SVC), pitching ideas for social enterprises in their communities. Those who are selected become Fellows, receiving seed funding and lifelong support. Resolution is there, even if they evolve or pivot from their original ideas, with global resources, mentorship, expertise, and community, along with a growing network of local partners. These components come together to form a proven model that identifies promising young leaders, launches their first ventures, and sticks with them as they grow.
Since our beginning in 2008, Resolution Project has launched and supported the growth of over 600 Fellows, working across six continents and in over 80 countries.

This staff member will both support ongoing projects in existing systems and have opportunities to build out new structures.

Please see the full job posting from our website: http://schatzcenter.org/docs/SchatzCenter-projectmanager-summer23.pdf
The Project Manager will support projects within our growing portfolio of work related to clean energy microgrids and distributed energy. These key technologies are critical to enable a broad transition to renewable and clean energy systems. The successful applicant will help manage innovative projects that will help decarbonize the electricity grid and provide resiliency benefits to communities. We are selective with the projects we take on, focusing on those with potential for significant impact in accelerating progress towards the clean energy transition on a just and equitable pathway.
The person selected for this position will report directly to the Operations Director and be embedded with a team of engineers and researchers — including faculty, professional staff, and undergraduate and graduate students — who are committed to understanding, deploying, and improving these emerging technology systems. The successful applicant will be responsible for managing several projects in the research area simultaneously (depending on the size and scope of the projects). This position has the potential to develop into a program management role, involving strategic leadership within a research area and management of a portfolio of related projects.
We work in a hybrid environment that supports flexibility and connection. Our team members currently have the option to work onsite all the time, or alternate between working remotely and at least 25% onsite at the Schatz Center. During the initial onboarding period, the Project Manager could telecommute, but ultimately will need to live within commuting distance of the Schatz Center.
We welcome applications from everyone who is legally eligible to work in the United States. Please note that we operate under the California State University mandate which requires all students, staff, and faculty to be either (a) fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or (b) qualify for a medical or religious exemption.
Who we are and what we do Since 1989, the Schatz Center has been a leader in applied research and project development for clean and renewable energy. Our current portfolio includes microgrid development, sustainable transportation design, carbon life cycle analysis, solar product testing, offshore wind research, and planning and policy for clean energy access around the globe.
We are located on the campus of Cal Poly Humboldt in Arcata, California. Arcata’s 800-acre community forest and 11 miles of trails begin one block away — and we are within biking distance of California’s second largest inland bay and the Pacific Ocean.
As residents of a rural coastal community, we are keenly aware of our social and environmental responsibilities. We are committed to increasing energy access and resilience for communities worldwide — and to do so through clean and renewable design that reduces climate change and restores environmental and human health.

We are seeking an entry-level professional to join our off-grid energy access team. The position will support administrative and research tasks including coordination with solar product manufacturers, data input and maintenance, and technical test report review and analysis. This is a full-time (40 hours/week) position, and is anticipated to start in July 2023.
This position will substantially contribute to our work on off-grid energy access. For context, more than 1 billion people worldwide are currently unable to access reliable grid electricity. Modern off-grid solar products help support these communities by providing clean and reliable energy for homes, farms and small businesses, and local facilities including schools and health clinics. As the technical lead for the VeraSol program, our off-grid energy access team develops and implements international test protocols for quality assurance to ensure that solar products and appliances are safe, durable, reliable, and perform as advertised. We work closely with national governments, manufacturers, and nonprofit organizations seeking to provide energy access and resilience across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. To date, over 65 million off-grid solar products that were certified through the program have been sold, benefitting well over 100 million people.
We work in a hybrid environment that supports flexibility and connection. Our team members currently have the option to work on site all the time or alternate between working remotely and at least 25% onsite at the Schatz Center. During the initial onboarding period, the team member could telecommute, but ultimately will need to live within commuting distance of the Schatz Center.
We welcome applications from everyone who is legally eligible to work in the United States. Please note that we operate under the Cal Poly Humboldt policy, which requires all students, staff, and faculty to be either (a) fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or (b) qualify for a medical or religious exemption.
Who we are and what we do
Since 1989, the Schatz Center has been a leader in applied research and project development for clean and renewable energy. Our current portfolio includes microgrid development, sustainable transportation design, carbon life-cycle analysis, solar product testing, offshore wind feasibility studies, and planning and policy for clean energy access around the globe.
We are located on the campus of Cal Poly Humboldt in Arcata, California. Arcata’s 800-acre community forest and 11 miles of trails begin one block away — and we are within biking distance of California’s second largest inland bay and the Pacific Ocean.
As residents of a rural coastal community, we are keenly aware of our social and environmental responsibilities. We are committed to increasing energy access and resilience for communities worldwide — and do so through clean and renewable design that reduces climate change and restores environmental and human health.
How to apply
Please see the full job announcement for required experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities.
Applicants must submit all of the following via email to schatzenergy@humboldt.edu :
A 1-2 page formal letter of application explaining your interest in working on the off-grid energy access team and your qualifications for the position. Please note that communication skills are very important for this position, and we will use this letter as a writing sample. Please include your ability to work during typical working hours in the Pacific Time and your willingness to be located within a weekly commuting distance of Arcata, California.

Full-Time, Remote, Exempt Position
THE ORGANIZATION
MISSION
As You Sow seeks to promote environmental and social corporate responsibility through shareholder advocacy, coalition building, and innovative legal strategies.
VISION
Our vision is a safe, just, and sustainable world in which protecting the environment and human rights is central to corporate decision-making.
OVERVIEW
As You Sow is a Berkeley-based non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1992 that promotes corporate environmental and social responsibility through shareholder advocacy, coalition building, and innovative legal strategies. We believe that the path to a safe, just, and sustainable world for all, can be achieved by compelling corporations to take greater responsibility for the impacts of their environmental, social, and governance policies and practices. We achieve this goal through direct engagement, shareholder advocacy, research, publishing scorecards, and other innovative and legal actions.
COMMITMENT TO DEI (Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion)
As You Sow actively seeks to recruit and retain a diverse staff in all areas of operations. As You Sow will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of age, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, sex, or sexual orientation.
THE POSITION
As You Sow’s climate and energy program works to make positive change in the world by moving companies to align their actions with global climate goals. As the Private Equity Coordinator, you will have an opportunity with As You Sow to improve Private Equity’s role in reducing climate change. This applies to both publicly traded private equity firms and privately held private equity.
As more and more public companies rely on Private Equity to buy up their high carbon energy assets, while claiming to address climate change, unacceptable levels of emissions continue unabated. One of the main focuses of this position will be tackling the growing issue of Private Equity carbon emission disclosure.
The goal of As You Sow’s work in private equity will be to begin leveling the playing field between public companies and those funded through private equity, shining a light on climate impact and insufficient environmental, social, and governance practices in private equity. We will work to ensure that the private equity industry is required to report on climate impact, the climate and financial risk of its investments, and its environmental and social impacts, giving investors an accurate understanding of the risks of investing in private equity – particularly when they represent pensions that have a responsibility to provide reliable income and a secure future to millions of retirees.
This position will be part of As You Sow’s Climate and Energy program, which moves companies to develop and set science-based greenhouse gas emissions targets, establish net zero by 2050 goals, disclose climate transition plans, and achieve aligned emissions reductions. The Private Equity Coordinator will work to develop a program to educate investors and change private equity practices related to climate.
Work will include researching a range of private equity company policies and practices, including emission reduction targets, incentives for climate performance, climate and environmental justice considerations, climate risk management, and climate regulations. This is a full-time exempt position.
Position Type: 1.0 FTE. Exempt
Start date: Position will be open until filled
Reports to: President and Chief Counsel
ESSENTIAL DUTIES
Work with President to develop and implement a comprehensive campaign to address climate risk in private equity.
Monitor and assess reporting, analyst reports, academic journals, media reports, and other relevant information sources.
Conduct independent research and work with colleagues in the investment arena to increase awareness and action related to the risks associated with private equity’s lack of publicly available climate-related reporting, goals, and actions.
Research and draft reports or other information pieces; develop other educational materials as appropriate; develop comments to regulatory agencies.
Publish benchmarks for reporting from private equity firms and institutional investors and how private equity firms perform on those benchmarks
Organize one or more webinars to educate investors, bringing together experts on climate and private equity
Research the potential for addressing regulatory policies to strengthen financial and climate reporting by private equity firms;
Convene investors around private equity and climate risks within investor networks (ICCR, Ceres, CA100+)
Draft press releases and conduct press around private equity stories or announcements as applicable to drive attention to climate impacts of private equity.
QUALIFICATIONS
3+ years of experience in ESG, climate, energy, and/or corporate responsibility
Experience/understanding of private equity
Experience in campaign development
Demonstrated research, analysis, and writing skills
Strong data communication skills, including data visualization and ability to effectively summarize key information
Excellent attention to detail
Strong organizational and time management skills
Ability to handle and prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment
Ability to act independently, communicate frequently, and ask questions when needed
Demonstrated commitment to progressive social and environmental change
Experience in Microsoft Office Suite including Excel, Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint
Experience with project management tools a plus.
Strong work ethic, self-motivation, and commitment to excellence.
Sense of humor appreciated.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM US
Salary: Range of $70,000 to $75,000. Negotiable depending upon experience.
Benefits: Healthcare, dental, vision insurance, Life, LTD, Voluntary Life, Employee Assistance Program, 401K, parental leave, phone stipend, 18 holidays, 1 volunteer day, and 10 vacation days in first year of employment (15 vacation days each subsequent year).

Climate Jobs National Resource Center (CJNRC) is hiring an Offshore Wind Policy Analyst II . The Policy Analyst II will conduct research and identify national and state-specific policies to support development of OSW as a source of renewable energy and of domestic union construction and manufacturing jobs.
About Climate Jobs National Resource Center
The Climate Jobs National Resource Center (CJNRC) is a labor-led organization that works to combat climate change and reverse extreme inequality. CJNRC supports a network of union-led, state-based climate jobs coalitions in Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, New York, Rhode Island, Texas and a growing number of additional states. The coalitions we support have succeeded in winning the nation’s strongest labor and equity standards for climate investments, built campaigns to harness public funds to invest in carbon-free and healthy schools, and trained union members on the science of climate change.
Offshore wind has the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions, create thousands of good union jobs across the United States, and revitalize domestic manufacturing. The Biden Administration has established a goal of developing 30GW of offshore wind by 2030, moving quickly to issue leases for new offshore wind areas while progressive state governments advance their own ambitious offshore wind programs. The Offshore Wind Policy Analyst will support our national and state efforts to build crucial support for the rapid development of offshore wind as well as increased investment in the domestic offshore wind supply chain. The Policy Analyst will coordinate efforts to advance pro-worker federal and state policies to ensure that the development of offshore wind creates good union jobs in the construction, operations, maintenance and manufacturing sectors. The Offshore Wind Policy Analyst will report to the CJNRC Director of Strategic Campaigns and Offshore Wind Campaign Director.
Key Responsibilities:
Identify and coordinate efforts to develop pro-worker offshore wind policies at the federal and state level to drive the development of a robust, domestic unionized offshore wind supply chain.
Lead efforts to engage with relevant federal agency staff to ensure the adoption of pro-worker offshore wind policies.
Track federal and state offshore wind developments, project approvals, policy issues and rule-making opportunities.
Engage with ally organizations in the environmental, environmental justice and climate justice movements to build broad support for pro-worker Offshore Wind policies.
Engage with CJNRC national staff and state coalition leaders to identify state coalition needs and build state coalition capacity.
Qualifications:
The Offshore Wind Policy Coordinator does not need to have prior experience with offshore wind policy or technologies, although familiarity with the wind industry, other energy industries, and/or energy policy is a plus;
A strong commitment to progressive social change, racial justice, and a familiarity with the issues that are central to CJNRC’s work and vision;
At least four years of experience as a policy analyst, researcher, or campaigner for unions, advocacy organizations, or grassroots community organizations, or in financial analysis or investigative journalism;
Strong critical thinking skills;
Ability to work effectively in politically sensitive and high-pressure environments;
Demonstrated commitment to community and/or labor organizing;
Ability to work independently;
Effective time management skills, including prioritizing and managing multiple tasks, with light supervision.
Working conditions: This is a full-time remote position. Long hours will be required on occasion. The position will require some travel. CJNRC will follow public health guidance related to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Compensation: The salary range for this position is $90,000-$98,000 . CJNRC offers an excellent benefits package that includes employer-paid medical and dental plans for full-time staff and their qualified dependents, life insurance, a dependent care assistance program, and generous time off.
To Apply:
SEND APPLICATION WITH RESUME, COVER LETTER, AND WRITING SAMPLE TO: info@cjnrc.org with the subject line “OSW Policy Analyst application”
This position is open until filled; however, the posting/acceptance of applications may close at any time. Job descriptions do not cover or contain a comprehensive listing of every activity or responsibility that is required.
CJNRC is committed to equal opportunity, and encourages applicants of all ages, races, sexual orientations, genders, national origins, ethnicities, religions, and veteran status. We encourage people from diverse backgrounds and experiences related to our core organizational values and objectives to apply
