This Northern Plains organizer will either work out of our office in Billings or our field office in Helena. Each of our organizers works with Northern Plains as a whole and also with our locally-based affiliate groups, mostly in small, rural communities, and also with our issue task forces. Overnight travel averages perhaps 2-3 times a month. As a Northern Plains Organizer, you won’t be tied to a desk, you’ll meet lots of people, and you’ll make change happen at the grassroots level. Specific duties include:
Qualifications: Commitment to Northern Plains’ issues and values, ability to get along well with people from diverse backgrounds, strong speaking and writing skills, ability to travel and be away overnight, willingness to work long hours when needed. Also helpful: experience (either as a volunteer or staffer) with a nonprofit organization working for social change or on environmental issues, experience in a political campaign, general familiarity with the workings of legislative bodies and agencies, familiarity with conservation and agriculture issues, experience with the media and fundraising. This is very much a “people” job. Salary and benefits: $26,000- $32,000, depending on experience; health insurance (20% employee contribution required); 4 weeks vacation; pension program; sabbatical program after 5 years of employment. Application deadline: As we are not yet certain of our hiring date, we do not have a deadline for this position. If you are interested in this position, however, we encourage you to apply.
