We support our volunteers every step of the way with regular check-ins, professional development opportunities, and recognition for their contributions.

Who we’re looking for

We are looking for individuals who have:

  • A deep connection to and/or lived experience in one of our national target regions (CO, CA, IL, NM, TX, and AZ).
  • Interest in one of our impact areas. (Climate Justice & Clean Air, Sustainable Communities, Public Land, Water Equity & Ocean)
  • A genuine passion for environmental, climate, or social justice.
  • Strong storytelling, community engagement, or advocacy skills (or a desire to develop them).
  • The ability to work independently and collaborate effectively with a remote or in-person team.
  • Bilingual abilities (Spanish/English) are a strong plus, but not required.

Volunteer Roles - Share your skills and time.

We offer projects and events (one‑off opportunities), all posted on our Take Action Dashboard. Roles generally fall into four areas: behind‑the‑scenes administration (data, files, and email), hands‑on event logistics (setup, outreach, and canvassing), community advocacy (engagement and social media), and research support (data collection and reporting). New roles launch quarterly, and selected volunteers attend a required orientation.

Testimonials

“Our volunteers make us better. Take a recent example from our Climate Justice and Clean Air team. A volunteer came in ready to tackle research for our air quality blog. But they didn't stop there. They spotted an opportunity to do more and pitched an op-ed on extreme heat that ended up being published and generating press coverage. We supported them every step of the way with feedback and connections. In the end, our work reached more people, and they gained real experience and visibility. That's the GreenLatinos volunteer program in a nutshell: we give you room to grow, and you help us go further.”
