Employment Opportunities

Greenbelt Alliance addresses a single challenge: how the Bay Area handles growth. We are the only Bay Area organization that holistically addresses land-use issues across our region—from land conservation to smart growth development.

Join our team to help us create a Bay Area where the natural and agricultural lands that provide so much to our region are protected and where everyone can live in a thriving neighborhood that they are proud to call home.

This includes organizational strategy, effective programs, fundraising for self-sustainability, financial operations, and external relations (building networks, serving as the spokesperson, participating on conference panels and making presentations, raising Greenbelt Alliance’s profile).
