Founded in 1936, the National Wildlife Federation has grown into America's largest and most trusted grassroots conservation organization with 53 state/territorial affiliates and more than six million members and supporters, including hunters, anglers, gardeners, birders, hikers, campers, paddlers, etc. The mission of the National Wildlife Federation is to unite all Americans to ensure wildlife thrive in our rapidly changing world. The organization's programs focus on conserving wildlife, restoring habitat and waterways, expanding outdoor opportunities, connecting children with nature, and addressing the causes and consequences of climate change. To support our mission, we seek a Climate and Energy Program Coordinator to join our National Advocacy Center in Washington, DC.
Our Climate and Energy team advances domestic policies at the federal, state, and regional levels that curb greenhouse gas emissions, speed an equitable transition to clean energy and industry, and expand natural and technological carbon removal. Working in Washington, DC and with regional offices, independent affiliates, and paid organizers in states and territories across the country, NWF is building bipartisan support for short- and long-term congressional solutions on climate, while spurring local action and growing an inclusive climate movement.
In this role, you will help with overall coordination throughout the organization on climate-related activities, primarily on domestic federal policy advocacy in collaboration with teams working on climate adaptation and resilience, agriculture and forestry, environmental justice, and field campaigns. A significant portion of your time will be spent drafting and managing materials generation for policymakers, our online audience, and field organizers, and facilitating communication and information sharing for NWF affiliates seeking background and dialogue on policy issues. Another significant portion of your time will be spent helping manage workflow on domestic advocacy activities. You will also serve as an NWF representative in occasional coalition and policymaker meetings. You will report directly to the Director of Climate and Energy Policy in the National Advocacy Center in DC.

Draft social media and alert team to opportunities for digital communication; work with digital team to update web content.
Track key legislation and hearings, providing summaries for the team. On occasion, draft hill communications such as letters and email blasts, and assist the Policy Director and Senior Government Relations Director by performing direct congressional outreach.
Create an NWF internal newsletter on climate program activities and manage content for monthly circulation.
Represent NWF with some partners, including attending coalition meetings and engaging NWF affiliates.
