JOB DESCRIPTION

Organization Overview and Mission

Chispa Arizona, a program of the League of Conservation Voters, is elevating growing voices, political power, and civic engagement for a cleaner future for our state. Our mission is to build the capacity of Latino families to influence policy makers and pressure polluters to protect communities’ rights to clean air and water, healthy neighborhoods and a safe climate for generations to come. Chispa Arizona launched in July 2014, and through grassroots community organizing, issue campaigns, and civic engagement, is creating local wins that collectively create momentum for strong national action on climate change. At the same time, we are growing the infrastructure and leadership in communities that result in Latino families having the political clout to stand up to polluters and demand accountability from decision-makers who have turned a blind eye to environmental racism and disparities in our communities.
