Volunteer Opportunities in Arizona

Volunteer in Arizona

Protect the Grand Canyon State’s environment and the special place in which we live.

Local Issues in Arizona

Climate change is a top concern in Arizona. Rising temperatures have changed much of its landscapes, threatening residents and wildlife. We’re working to reduce America’s emissions — fast. Can you help? As a CCL volunteer, you’ll work with fellow concerned Arizonians to address climate change.

Volunteer for the Environment

Arizona’s natural beauty and outdoor wonder, as well as the jobs, businesses, and homes of its residents, are in danger. Every day Arizonians feel the financial repercussions of climate change and its negative impacts in their local communities. Fortunately, there’s a way to help.

 

Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) is a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization with volunteer chapters throughout Arizona. Our largest chapter is in Phoenix. We also have new chapters starting in the Tempe, Mesa, Tucson, Scottsdale, and Flagstaff areas.

 

We welcome all Arizonians who are serious about solving climate change. You bring your energy, and willingness to work collaboratively with others on solutions. We’ll help you turn your alarm about climate change into action – influencing real decisions locally and in Washington, D.C. that will impact Arizona’s environment.

Either way, we’ve got tools and training that will help you get there. As a volunteer, you’ll work with fellow concerned Arizonians to address climate change through activities like these:

  • Media relations: Learn to engage with and influence the media. We write letters to the editors and op-eds, meet with editorial boards, and work to place stories in all forms of media.
  • Grassroots outreach: We recruit and educate the public on climate change solutions, citizen advocacy, and how to participate with one’s government.
  • Chapter and volunteer development: We grow our local groups and improve our skills as environmental advocates, helping us push more effectively on the other four levers for building political will.
  • Additional opportunities: Tabling events, making media presentations, and social media management.
