SCOPE OF WORK
Action for the Climate Emergency (ACE) exists to confront climate change as the most urgent crisis of our time, threatening the health of communities and ecosystems across the globe. ACE’s mission is to educate young people on the science of climate change and empower them to take action. Since our founding in 2008, ACE has educated over 3 million youth, grown our action network to over 800,000 members, tracked over 1 million climate actions, and registered and turned out tens of thousands of first-time voters.
Young people have been systematically disenfranchised for decades and we’re fighting back by educating our nation’s youngest and most diverse eligible voters about our democracy, how to fully participate, and how to get family and friends to do the same.
ACE is looking for motivated individuals to contract up to 28 hours per week at $22/HR registering BIPOC youth and communities to vote for this Mid term elections in 2022. If you love interfacing with the public and being a part of civic engagement, then join the movement to register first time voters. Sign up today!
