What is Impact?
Impact is a nonprofit that runs grassroots campaigns on public interest issues. We work on strategic campaigns in key areas in order to mobilize key constituencies to act and pressure decisionmakers. We build people power in order to win against those with overwhelming amounts of power and money. Impact is a part of the Public Interest Network and works on behalf of state Public Interest Research Groups, Environment America, and Fair Share.
The Job
Impact Campaign Organizers work achieve campaign goals and make a tangible difference on important issues like global warming and clean energy, big money in politics, and the overuse of antibiotics. You’ll help us educate and engage more students and citizens on the most critical issues of our time. You’ll help us get our issues into the media, build coalitions, organize events and lobby decision-makers. Ultimately, you’ll help us build the kind of public support it takes to create social change. As an Organizer, you will:
- Learn how to analyze problems, push for smart solutions, and build the public support it takes to win
- Work side-by-side with one of our organizers, learning the ropes.
- Attend briefings and trainings to learn even more about the issues and gain organizing
skills
And if you’re thinking you might want to make a career out of solving big problems like global warming, working with Impact is one of the best ways to get started. This full-time two year position, will you get the training and experience you need, but we also hire our most talented and committed organizers to become lead organizers and organizational directors.
We are looking for people who are passionate about helping to solve problems facing our environment, our democracy, and our future who can help mobilize the public to stand up against big money and big power. Candidates should have good people and teamwork skills as well as time management skills.

Example Campaigns:
We’re working to tackle global warming. We’re looking to replace dirty energy, one of the largest contributors of pollution and carbon pollution, with clean energy like wind and solar. Despite pushback by big oil and coal, we are working to make it easier for people to go solar and have clean, local, and independent energy sources.
We’re working to stop the overuse of antibiotics on factory farms. Antibiotic resistance is on the rise, but factory farms keep pumping antibiotics into the daily feed of perfectly healthy animals – putting our lives at risk in the process – just to fatten them up a little faster. We need to change the rules and change the marketplace so it makes more sense to go antibiotic-free than to continue doing business as usual. And it’s now starting to happen: McDonald’s recently agreed to stop the routine use of human antibiotics on the chicken it sells, and Subway has also come out against unnecessary use of antibiotics, thanks to our campaigns.
We’re working to protect our rivers, lakes and streams. We’re working prevent more problems like the recent big chemical spill in West Virginia or the massive toxic algae bloom in Lake Erie, both of which left hundreds of thousands of people without clean drinking water. To do so, we’re building power to defend and fund the recently restored Clean Water Act, protecting streams that were left open to polluters because of loopholes in the law.
