Volunteer!
Volunteering with 350 Madison is a rewarding way to spend your time. You do not need to have prior experience in the climate field or even know much about the movement. All you need is a willingness to help and learn. Below are some of our more pressing volunteer positions. If none of these strike your fancy, there are tons of opportunities within each campaign team. If you would like to volunteer for one of these positions or you want to learn more, contact our Volunteer Coordinator at nikki.darga@350madison.org.

Campaign Teams
Tar Sands
The Tar Sands Team is fighting Enbridge tar sands pipelines in Wisconsin. Our aims are to halt plans for a Line 66 in the Line 61 corridor, to stop the reroute of Line 5 in northern Wisconsin, and to #ShutDownLine5! We support efforts led by those most impacted, including tribes, landowners, and affected community members.

The Divest & Defund Team works to convince institutions that investments in fossil fuels are not only ethically and fiscally irresponsible, but are literally wrecking the planet we call home—all for profit. We are currently focusing on banks that fund pipeline projects.
