To change everything, it takes everyone!

We’d love to have you join us in fighting for a livable planet! It will take every one of us, and there’s an important role to play, whatever your skills, whatever your interests, whatever amount of time you have.

Check out our current volunteer openings…

We have many volunteer needs and appreciate contributions at any level. You can check out whether 350 Madison is right for you by attending our monthly meetings or getting in touch with one of our teams (see below).

Here are some of our current volunteer openings:

As a grassroots organization, 350 Madison relies on skilled and motivated volunteers. We are looking for a volunteer coordinator to help us recruit and support our volunteers, and to make sure that our teams have the people-power they need to effectively do their work.

We are looking for a well-organized, energetic individual with excellent communication skills. Volunteer coordination experience preferred.

To learn more, contact Gail.Nordheim@350madison.org.

We are seeking an editor for our monthly e-newsletter. The editor conducts interviews and writes articles, finds appropriate public-domain photos, and attractively formats the newsletter using MailChimp or a similar platform.

We are looking for an individual with excellent writing skills, attention to detail, and ability to produce attractive, informative, and readable newsletters using online publishing apps.

Campaign Teams

Tar Sands

The Tar Sands Team is fighting Enbridge tar sands pipelines in Wisconsin. Our aims are to block expansion of Line 61 and to halt plans for an adjacent Line 66. We support efforts led by those most impacted, including tribes, landowners, and affected community members.

Contact: Phyllis Hasbrouck, Phyllis.Hasbrouck@350madison.org

Divest & Defund

2016 was the hottest year on record; 2017 was the second-hottest. The Divest & Defund Team focuses on convincing institutions that investments in fossil fuel are not only ethically and fiscally irresponsible, but are literally wrecking the planet we call home—all for profit. Banks are our current focus since without their support, dirty pipeline projects can’t get funded.

Contact: Seth Jensen, Seth.Jensen@350madison.org

Community Climate Solutions

Community Climate Solutions focuses on making change across Dane County, at both systems and individual levels. One campaign seeks to help local governments implement urgently needed climate solutions. Another collaborates with other local groups to increase climate action and awareness.
