Established in 2022, Our Virginia Outdoors is a coalition of land trusts, trails advocates, and urban conservation groups advocating for dedicated funding for natural resources in Virginia. We have seen through years of participation in the state budget process that General Fund appropriations will never meet the levels needed to combat the growing development pressures, accelerating impacts of climate change, and the increasing demands placed on our natural resources of Virginia. We believe that establishing dedicated funding is necessary to supplement General Fund appropriations to meet these challenges.


We are looking for a part-time contractor (20 hours per week) who will help coordinate this coalition’s activities, including during the Virginia General Assembly’s legislative sessions, in a non-lobbying capacity.


About the Position


The Coalition Coordinator will work collaboratively with the coalition to maximize member participation, conduct outreach to grow the coalition, and be responsible for performing multiple administrative functions. They will be responsible for scheduling and coordinating logistics for coalition meetings, recording and maintaining minutes and all other documentation of meetings and activities, compiling and distributing monthly reports describing coalition efforts, initiatives and outreach to coalition members, and facilitating on-going communication between all members. Additionally, the Coordinator will maintain the coalition’s website and social media presence on Twitter, Instagram, and/or Facebook by generating content describing the coalition’s activities, and draft email alerts and communications for coalition members and those who sign up for updates through the coalition’s website.


Responsibilities

  • Administrative support for regular Our Virginia Outdoors meetings, including agenda construction, coordinating virtual and in-person meetings, and generating analytic reports to members.
  • Build relationships with constituents, including land conservation, trail, environmental groups, and partners throughout Virginia.
  • Conduct outreach through social media, press releases, and other venues to raise awareness of the coalition and recruit new members.
  • Generate social media calendar and content describing coalition activities and goals.
  • Compile and share regular updates on coalition activities with members through email updates.
  • Provide support as needed to coalition members organizing events.
  • Maintain Our Virginia Outdoors social media presence.

$50 per hour (this is a contract position and does not include staff benefits). This is a one-year position starting in early 2023. Potential for extension.


This is a remote position with a preference for candidates in Virginia.


This position is a contract position housed at the Virginia Conservation Network. The Coordinator will report to the Our Virginia Outdoors Steering Committee.
