We are looking for a fellow to help us tell the BC3 story, drive our projects forward, and provide day-to-day to support to the Executive Director. As a small organization, BC3 depends on fellows who are entrepreneurial, creative, and excited about taking on substantive responsibilities. Strong communication skills are also a must.

- Grow and support the BC3 community by planning and managing member events.
- Advance BC3’s programmatic efforts by facilitating the implementation of member-led climate action projects.
- Improve BC3 operations by providing day-to-day administrative support.
Required Qualifications:
- Excellent writing skills
- Strong attention to detail
- Professionalism
- Proven ability to develop and/or manage complex projects
- Social media and online organizing experience
- Video and/or graphics experience preferred
- Knowledge of climate change, sustainable cities, and sustainable business issues
- Unshakeable positivity
Hours and Pay
This position is unpaid, fellows are expected to work 4 days (32 hours) per week, and typical commitments last 12 weeks. Flexibility around work hours and start/end dates may be possible for qualified applicants. We are based in the beautiful new San Francisco Department of Environment offices in downtown San Francisco.
