The GreenLatinos’ Urban Greening Initiative Communications Fellow will provide GreenLatinos support in executing and monitoring the communications strategy for the GreenLatinos Urban Greening Initiative. Our initiative is allocating a total of $2,650,000 in grants to increase and revitalize greenspaces in urban Latino/a/e communities across Los Angeles, Albuquerque, and Chicago.
The GreenLatinos Communications program will focus on deepening GreenLatinos’ outreach to and engagement of its network of English and Spanish-speaking members on our initiative, creating access points for our comunidad.
The Urban Greening Initiative Communications Fellow (“Comms fellow”) will be responsible for supporting and executing the communication strategy for a growing portfolio of work.
The Comms Fellow will help implement opportunities to elevate the voices of Latino/a/e GreenLatinos staff and community members in media and promote our urban greening programmatic and policy solutions within the broader environmental movement, among Latino and ally organizations, with federal elected officials, and the Presidential Administration. This work will occur per GreenLatinos’ operations, partnerships, and engagement strategies.
The Comms Fellow must be a well-organized individual with experience working with diverse constituencies (communities of color, local organizations, businesses, government, foundations, and green groups). The Comms Fellow will support a broad Communications Strategy that will help us reach our organizational goals, including developing and advocating our priorities, centering and supporting our membership, and facilitating community building.
The ideal candidate is self-driven, a team player, and comfortable working within a relaxed working environment. The ideal candidate will be able to communicate (verbally & in writing) their working needs clearly with their supervisors and other staff to ensure success. The ideal candidate understands that it is critical to uphold professional practices as a representative of GreenLatinos and its network during all work-related functions, including travel, receptions, and events.
The Fellow will report directly to the Communications Manager.
Organization Overview
GreenLatinos is an organization committed to fighting for environmental liberation. We convene Latino/a/e leaders from across the country in various sectors to advocate for policies that reduce the impact of climate change on Latino/a/e communities.
Purpose & Overview
The GreenLatinos Water Equity and Ocean Program is embarking on a meaningful campaign with the goal of spotlighting river and ocean foodways through storytelling and connection. Our focus is on uplifting and engaging Latine community members across the country, encompassing a diverse range from youth to the elderly. We aim to share 3 to 5 stories that explore the intersection of green/gray infrastructure, the significance of cultivating our environments (natural, community, etc.), and healing our connections to land and waters through food.
We are looking to hire by April 22nd to develop a story map that integrates multiple forms of media from the storytelling aspect of our campaign. We aim to conduct the interview portion of the project between April - May and will request any graphics, pictures, videos, and audio to be submitted by May 31st. At this point, we will bring on the GIS story map developer to integrate the interviews and media, as well as federal calls to action that will connect the stories together and highlight tangible steps to advocate for water equity and climate resilience. The story map will be completed by August 1st.
