Over Greenbelt Alliance’s 65-year history, we have stewarded this region’s beautiful natural landscapes while promoting the growth needed for thriving communities for generations to come. As a result, today, almost 3.3 million acres of the Bay Area’s nine counties are protected open spaces. Now, the Bay Area’s people, cities, and lands need critical help as our climate dramatically changes.
Joining our team means working with a bright and collaborative team who are dedicated to realizing a climate-resilient region—while having fun and enjoying great perks and benefits.
Open Opportunities:
Marin County Resilience Manager
Greenbelt Alliance is looking for a collaborative and community-focused leader to join our team as the Resilience Manager for Marin County. This role will primarily focus on bringing together housing, climate, and environmental advocates to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing the County: rising housing costs, climate-related risks like flooding and wildfires, and outdated land use policies that make both problems worse. The Resilience Manager will work directly with community partners, local advocates, and public agencies to educate and empower local residents and strengthen community infrastructure. This work will focus on accelerating existing efforts in Marin County to work together on a proactive vision for the future to increase housing affordability while maintaining protections for Marin’s incredible natural areas, and investing in nature-based infrastructure to reduce risks from climate-related hazards.
Annual Salary: $78,000 – $86,000
Projected Position Start Date: ASAP
Location: Remote, significant in person activities in Marin County
Resilience Fellowship Program
Greenbelt Alliance is excited to open three new opportunities in our Resilience Fellowship program—an initiative designed to engage and empower early career individuals to become climate leaders. The program provides participants with opportunities to learn about environmental issues, develop their leadership skills, and implement meaningful projects to address environmental challenges in their communities. The Climate Resilience Fellows will play a crucial role in advancing Greenbelt Alliance’s work at the intersection of climate resilience, nature-based solutions, and community advocacy. This position is ideal for someone eager to gain hands-on experience in climate adaptation, land-use policy, effective communications strategies, and community-centered planning. The fellowship program may also include networking opportunities, mentorship, and peer support to enable participants to connect with like-minded individuals, collaborate on projects, and build long-lasting relationships with environmental advocates and changemakers.
Duration: 4–6 months (flexible, with potential to start part time and ramp up hours in the summer)
Location: Hybrid, based in the Bay Area
APPLICATIONS CLOSED.
