  Shameless Plug - The greenest of green jobs...

  What a coincidence!  The AWESOME environmental group Clean Water Action just happens to be looking for a Community Organizer for its Philadelphia office.  I'm willing to bet there will be more ideal candidates reading this on Grist than anywhere else, so I figured I'd give it a shot.  Here's the post:  (And let me just add that I found MY job here through idealist.org, and it's the best job I've ever had - you'll love it here!)

  Clean Water Action and Clean Water Fund are seeking a full-time Community Organizer to work in our Philadelphia office.  The Organizer would help local communities stop pollution that is making them sick and help implement Clean Water's campaigns to protect our rivers and streams...and our drinking water...from pollution.  

  Clean Water Action (CWA) is a national citizens' organization working for clean, safe, affordable water, prevention of health threatening pollution, creation of environmentally safe jobs and businesses, and empowerment of people to make democracy work.  Clean Water Fund (CWF) is a national research and education organization which promotes the public interest on issues relating to water, waste and toxics.

  Responsibilities:
  ·Provide organizing support to grassroots groups fighting pollution problems, helping them address problems affecting their health.
  ·Help organize regional and statewide campaigns to protect drinking water quality, mobilizing the public to demand strong standards and to protect the sources of our water.
  ·Help local groups protect their rivers and streams, promoting state and municipal policies that will preserve and improve watersheds.  
  ·Assist in CWA's electoral activities in eastern Pennsylvania.
  ·Help coordinate media and public relations activities in eastern Pennsylvania.
  ·Provide support for CWA's field and phone canvasses, including briefings and materials.  
  ·Participate in local fundraising activities, including events and presentations.  

  Qualifications:
  ·Paid or volunteer experience in issue organizing and/or electoral campaigns.
  ·Good oral and written communication skills.
  ·Experience with canvass programs and/or environmental issues desirable.

  Compensation:
  ·Salary from mid to high 20's, depending on experience.  Attractive benefit package provided.  

  To Apply:  
  ·Send your resume to Eric Wilden, Clean Water Action, 100 N. 17th Street, #900, Philadelphia PA 19103.  CWA and CWF are equal opportunity employers.
