Resilience Fellow – Solano Communications

 

About this Opportunity:

Greenbelt Alliance is looking for a Solano Communications Fellow to help tell the story of one of the biggest land-use fights in California right now. Tech billionaires want to build a brand new city in Solano County. The Solano Together coalition, a group of local organizations, residents, and advocates, of which Greenbelt Alliance is a member organization, is pushing back. The Coalition conducts research and shares information about opportunities for political involvement via social media, fact sheets, website updates, and media partnerships.

In this role, you’d be helping bring that story to life online. As part of the Greenbelt Alliance’s Marketing and Communications team, you will support capturing photos and video in the field, producing short-form content, keeping our channels fresh and culturally relevant, staying up-to-date on the California Forever project, and assisting with in-person events as needed.

We are looking for a highly organized and independent candidate who has skills and expertise in graphic design, video/photography, and content creation for social media and understands how to engage an audience on social media. If this sounds like you and you’re passionate about climate justice and equitable urban development, we want to hear from you!
