Check out our current volunteer openings…

We have many volunteer needs and appreciate contributions at any level. You can check out whether 350 Madison is right for you by attending our monthly meetings or getting in touch with one of our teams (see below).

Here are some of our current volunteer openings:

We are seeking an editor for our monthly e-newsletter. The editor conducts interviews and writes articles, finds appropriate public-domain photos, and attractively formats the newsletter using MailChimp or a similar platform.

We are looking for an individual with excellent writing skills, attention to detail, and ability to produce attractive, informative, and readable newsletters using online publishing apps.

To learn more, contact 350-madison-cat@350madison.org.

Do you want to address the climate emergency in our area? Are you interested in working with other people in your community who share your concerns?

350 Madison’s Community Climate Solutions Team needs your help! We have Community Working Groups for Madison, Middleton, Fitchburg, Monona, Dane County, and UW–Madison — with plans for more to come. Get more information about these Working Groups here.

Join the CCST Action Participation List to respond to specific, time-limited requests aimed at influencing a particular local government (e.g., attending a public hearing, making phone calls, or writing letters). To join this list or one of the Working Groups, click here.

To learn more, contact Susan Millar.

Our Tar Sands team has many volunteer opportunities to fit your skills, interests, and availability. We need volunteers to do online research; create memes and FB posts; write letters to the editor; make art; update a website; phonebank and textbank; contact potential partner groups; do data entry and type up notes; show up to hearings; testify at hearings; engage in public speaking; plan rallies, press conferences, and events; write public comments on pipeline projects; and more!

Campaign Teams

Tar Sands

The Tar Sands Team is fighting Enbridge tar sands pipelines in Wisconsin. Our aims are to block expansion of Line 61 and to halt plans for an adjacent Line 66. We support efforts led by those most impacted, including tribes, landowners, and affected community members.

Contact: Phyllis Hasbrouck, Phyllis.Hasbrouck@350madison.org

Divest & Defund

2016 was the hottest year on record; 2017 was the second-hottest. The Divest & Defund Team focuses on convincing institutions that investments in fossil fuel are not only ethically and fiscally irresponsible, but are literally wrecking the planet we call home—all for profit. Banks are our current focus since without their support, dirty pipeline projects can’t get funded.

Contact: Seth Jensen, Seth.Jensen@350madison.org

Community Climate Solutions

Community Climate Solutions focuses on making change across Dane County, at both systems and individual levels. One campaign seeks to help local governments implement urgently needed climate solutions. Another collaborates with other local groups to increase climate action and awareness.
