Description:
The League of Conservation Voters Education Fund believes our earth is worth mobilizing for, because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. LCV Education Fund (LCVEF) works to turn environmental values into national, state and local priorities. LCVEF’s work to protect and advocate for the environment is rooted in our commitment to racial, social and environmental justice.
Democracy for All (DFA) is one of the largest and most dynamic civic engagement programs in the nation and the largest program within the environmental movement. As a program of LCVEF, we operate in partnership with 30 state affiliates in the Conservation Voter Movement, which gives Democracy For All substantial capacity and geographic reach. Over the last five election cycles, we have established a track record of running highly effective, research-based nonpartisan voter registration programs that are rooted in racial justice and worked in collaboration with the communities most impacted by environmental degradation. Since our first program in 2012, we have helped over 1.5 million individuals register to vote. LCVEF and many state league partners have also prioritized increasing our efforts to protect and promote voting rights. These issues are central to the success of environmental priorities, and are, therefore, central to the success of the Conservation Voter Movement.
LCVEF is seeking a Deputy Director of Civic Engagement to join the Democracy For All program who will oversee a growing multi-state voting rights program and the execution of multi-state site-based nonpartisan voter registration and integrated voter engagement. In addition to DFA programs LCVEF conducts directly, the DFA program involves state-level partnerships with affiliates that result in strategic guidance and oversight. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in management, base building, coalition building, and developing grassroots leaders through issue organizing campaigns and civic engagement. We are looking for a creative, motivated leader with an organizing background who is goal-driven, detail-oriented, and dynamic.

LCVEF is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to a racially just, equitable and inclusive workplace.
LCV believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.
For more than 50 years, LCV has grown into a potent political force for protecting our planet and everyone who inhabits it. We have built a powerful national movement with 30 state affiliates, and grassroots and community organizing programs across the country.
LCV’s work to protect and advocate for the environment is rooted in our commitment to racial, social and environmental justice. Communities of color are disproportionately impacted by climate change and pollution. For this reason, racial justice and equity are inextricably linked to protecting our environment. Within the organization, we are actively building a workplace culture that demonstrates how we value equity and inclusion through more intentional and inclusive practices. We are committed to building an organization that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.
