Outreach Coordinator - Wisconsin
PART-TIME, TEMPORARY, HOURLY POSITION

ACE’s mission is to educate, inspire and support young people to lead the fight for their future. We achieve our mission by reaching tens of millions of young people with our programs each year, training a new generation of leaders, amplifying youth voices to shift the narrative, and increasing diverse youth participation in our democracy.
ACE is looking for a charismatic and persistent outreach coordinator who can help increase teacher awareness and interest in our in-person climate education programming (at no cost to the teacher/school – See Our Climate Our Future for similar programs). A successful candidate should have general knowledge and interest in climate science, environmental justice, and education. The ideal candidate will be passionate about young people’s role in solving the climate crisis and have experience in conducting phone outreach or sales.
