Sierra Youth Executive Committee Application

We are looking for a motivated, passionate, collaborative person to join our Executive Committee (ExComm). This includes helping ensure follow through of the podcast, fundraising, knowledge mobilization, and political/ legislative involvement.

Ideally, this person will have relevant experience that draws from the established principles and goals of the Sierra Club. By ‘relevant experience’ we do not necessarily define that solely by previous formal work experience, but rather any life experience related to the environment, fundraising, NGO’s, law/policy, activism, team work, creativity, or organization, for example.

Responsibilities:

  • Capacity for ~2-5 hours of work/week

  • Taking part in the podcast, fundraising, knowledge mobilization, and political/legislative movements

  • Ability to work cohesively in a team while providing unique strengths

  • Interests in taking initiatives to enhance to club, and working independently on delegated tasks

  • Excellent organizational, time management and communication skills 

  • Commitment for thoroughness and accountability 

  • Strong personal values of kindness, compassion, willingness to learn and unlearn

  • We are a volunteer-based team, and no prior formal experience is required. We want to offer an opportunity for youth to get formal work experience and to build a portfolio with the support of a strong organization! If you have a portfolio of work you are proud of, we would love to take a look.
