“You can’t fight these big fights on your own. You need to work with others, and you need others if you’re going to take care of the places that you love.”
–Jeanie Alderson, Northern Plains Past Chair
Northern Plains is a grassroots organization of people from the plains and mountains, cities and towns. We are everyday Montanans who love where we live. We stand up, shoulder-to-shoulder, to protect this place we all call home.
We believe that true prosperity begins with healthy land, water, and air. We believe that our families, farms, ranches, schools, businesses, governments, and communities thrive when we are good stewards of these resources. We believe that if we look beyond our fences, listen to one another, and keep our minds open, we will find creative solutions to secure a clean, healthful environment for all.
We are working toward a future where we live in harmony with nature, where our economy serves the people rather than the people serving the economy, where neighbors work side-by-side to build a world that lives up to our ideals of fairness, inclusion, and justice.
For 50 years, Northern Plains Resource Council has helped Montanans organize to protect water quality, family farms and ranches, and our unique quality of life.
JOB DESCRIPTION:
Each of our organizers works with Northern Plains’ grassroots membership as a whole, with our local affiliates (mostly in small, rural communities), and with our issue task forces to further the mission of Northern Plains.
Specifically, this position organizes and supports the Northern Plains members who lead our work on coal issues, as well as our local affiliates affected by coal mining. This exciting and challenging opportunity as coal country organizer will involve organizing in the most severely affected coal communities in Montana using a skillset of community organizing, building relationships and trust, research, engagement in policy and permitting processes, and communication with regulatory agencies.
This is very much a “people” job. As a Northern Plains organizer, you won’t be tied to a desk, you’ll meet lots of people, and you’ll make change happen at the grassroots level. Travel to coal communities averages perhaps 3-4 times a month for this position.
The Northern Plains staff is a team of hard-working, dedicated individuals who honor and promote a healthy work/life balance. When you’re in the office, you’ll enjoy a casual office environment that is full of natural light and camaraderie with a team of engaged and passionate people. When you’re in the field, you’ll be in Montana’s rugged mountain landscape, working side by side with a team of inspired members fighting for the long-term health of our environment and communities.
This is a permanent, salaried, and exempt position.
