Environment Florida is hiring

Environment Florida has an entry-level position open in the Tallahassee office for a recent or upcoming college graduate to join our 2-year Fellowship Program. Over the two years in our Fellowship position, the fellow will work side-by-side with Aliki Moncrief, Environment Florida State Director, as their mentor. 


They will learn all the important tools of the trade for doing this work—citizen organizing, advocacy, working with the media, building coalitions and more.  Their time will be spent working to make sure our elected officials hear from every day Floridians about the importance of protecting Florida’s unique environment - our world-famous beaches and estuaries, our springs and our storied "river of grass."


This is a paid position and includes a package of benefits for the Fellow—you can learn more by viewing the job description on our website.
