Since re-launching in 2018, Georgia Conservation Voters has been working to establish our presence as a leader at the intersection of conservation policy and politics here in our state. Our careers are currently based in Atlanta, GA and are open to all qualified applicants. We believe that people of color, people from working class backgrounds, women, and LGBTQIA+ people must be centered in the work we do. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities, or who are members of other marginalized communities.
We are building a pretty amazing organizational culture, one that is grounded in doing exceptional work; prioritizing racial, gender, and economic justice; investing in our teammates’ success just as much as our own; and living our full, whole lives as people who are going to be a part of this movement for the long haul. We believe in well cared for, well-compensated employees. Our benefits package includes generous vacation time, sick pay, paid holidays, retirement, and employer-paid healthcare and dental insurance for full-time staff.
