Report to: IEN Executive Director
Organization Summary: The Indigenous Environmental Network is a non-profit organization working with Native community-based organizations and Native Nations throughout North America on environmental and economic justice issues. IEN has programs supporting frontline Native communities to protect land, water, air, biodiversity, and community public health. Since 1990, IEN has been one of the leading environmental justice networks within North America, moving forward a Native-based grassroots agenda on addressing environmental justice and promoting the building of sustainable communities.
Job Summary: Work with the Indigenous Environmental Network to continue outreach to students at selected tribal and non-tribal colleges and universities throughout the Midwest/Great Lakes; taking action around climate change and global warming issues, as part of the nation-wide Energy Action Coalitions - Campus Climate Challenge. The mission of the Campus Climate Challenge is to build a generation-wide movement to stop global warming. Through a carefully targeted strategy, the national campaign will convey the urgency of the climate crisis while building a compelling vision of a renewable energy economy through tangible victories on hundreds of college and university campuses. Students across North America are already taking concrete action on their campuses to tackle global warming with relatively little support and scant media attention. With a greater infusion of resources, college campuses can become the epicenter of a broader, sustained movement. IEN is a partner in the Campus Climate Challenge as a mechanism to reach out to the tribal colleges and universities.
