Come work for the Sierra Club

Sierra Club is the most enduring and influential grassroots environmental organization in the United States. We amplify the power of our millions of members and supporters to defend everyone’s right to a healthy world by:

• Championing solutions to the climate crisis,
• Working for clean air, safe water, land protection and a vibrant natural world,
• Fighting for environmental and social justice, and
• Getting people outside to enjoy the outdoors

A career at Sierra Club means joining our 800+ passionate and engaged employees across the country and our even larger grassroots network of volunteers. Our staff are changemakers whose work is rooted in our equity, inclusion, and justice values. Achieving our mission is only possible by building just relationships with each other. We are proud that over half of our staff are represented by labor unions: the Progressive Workers Union and Sierra Employee Alliance.

We strongly encourage people from varying backgrounds to apply—including people who identify as Black or African-American, Native Americans and Indigenous origins, Hispanic or Latino, Asian or Pacific Islander, multi-racial, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people living with disabilities.
