Are you interested in supporting a climate literacy group? Are you interested in getting more involved in the climate space? We are looking for a thoughtful and curious person to join our team. The role we most need to fill right now is around building relationships with individuals, foundations, like-minded corporations and networks that can help to sustain the project over time. The role is about managing the connections we make as an org, and facilitating communication with them. You do not need to be a climate expert. That's what our researchers, writers and books team members are for! You need to be climate concerned and climate curious, and excited about supporting our work. We would love to hear from you! ✍
