West Michigan Regional Coordinator
The Michigan League of Conservation Voters (MLCV) — one of Michigan’s largest, most impactful political advocacy organizations working to clean up our water and air, address climate change, and protect access to voting — is seeking a full-time West Michigan Regional Coordinator to help anchor our regional organizing work to elect champions by running aggressive, focused issue-education campaigns and holding elected officials accountable while in office.
This work is centered around the organization’s statewide #OurWaterOurVote brand, and the West Michigan Regional Coordinator will work as a member of our Advocacy & Outreach team. They will lead a team of organizers in daily work that engages voters and community partners to grow our volunteer base, and build collective strength in Kent County. Together, #OurWaterOurVote campaigns pressure our elected leaders to act on pivotal issues facing West Michigan families — like toxic PFAS water contamination, aging infrastructure that pollutes our rivers and lakes, and the dramatic impacts of climate change. We then focus on that work at the local, state, and federal levels to have an impact.
The ideal candidate has a tenacious, self-starter attitude with experience in either political candidate campaigns, issue-based 501(c)(4) community organizing, or union worker organizing. The ideal candidate is an organizer at-heart, who is detail-oriented and has instincts around how to blend field organizing, social media, and volunteer leadership management. They are passionate about politics and want to be immersed in the high-speed world of it. They can reference work experience that would be relevant to the above, and most notably, can talk specifically about how to build a volunteer engagement and recruitment campaign from soup-to-nuts.
