Sierra Club Values

At the Sierra Club, we believe in the power of togetherness. Together, we remain committed to the fight for a healthy climate built on a foundation of environmental, racial, economic, and gender justice – a future where all people benefit from a healthy, thriving planet and a direct connection to nature. As the climate crisis and deeply entrenched systemic racism all fuel inequity, we will continue to fight for a bold, transformational agenda that recognizes the interconnectedness between our planet, our humanity, and our democracy. By recognizing that our destinies are tied, we continue to name that all things are fundamentally connected, and the overlap between ecology, race, gender, and representative government will move to either advance our collective humanity or to oppress it.

Sierra Club has over 800 staff members across the country and a network of local chapters that support our grassroots engagement. We are also proud to be a unionized employer, with two labor unions representing more than half of our employees, the Progressive Workers Union and Sierra Employee Alliance. Our staff are changemakers whose work is rooted in our core values of anti-racism, balance, collaboration, justice and transformation. Achieving our mission is only possible by building just relationships with each other. 

The Sierra Club is evolving its hiring practices to be better aligned with our principles of belonging, dignity, justice and joy. We are looking to hire people who share those values, and who reflect the communities in which we live and work.  The Sierra Club values applicants who are people that identify as Black, Indigenous, and other minoritized groups; women; queer, transgender, gender non-conforming, and gender fluid people.
