We seek a Coastal Louisiana Organizer to reach out to, educate, and engage leaders of underserved communities at risk of losing coastal land; particularly in New Orleans and to a lesser degree, throughout southeast Louisiana. These communities are highly impacted by coastal land loss; therefore, community participation will be critical in order to establish a well-rounded and strong Coastal Campaign. Focusing on churches, elected officials, and university networks, the Coastal Louisiana Organizer will identify leaders in under-served communities, provide information about the Coastal Campaign, and explore potential collaboration. He or she will identify points of convergence between the interests and objectives of the communities represented and NWF's Coastal Campaign goals, raise community awareness of coastal policy issues, and develop relationships to advance the Coastal Campaign. The temporary campaign plan will serve as a strong starting point for NWF to engage with and empower diverse communities to have a stronger voice for coastal protection and restoration at the local and national levels.
The Coastal Louisiana Organizer will lay the groundwork for engaging under-served communities in NWF's issue agenda on Coastal Louisiana Restoration and engage NWF's issue agenda with community concerns. The Coastal Louisiana Organizer will be part of a highly engaged team of NWF staff and other NGO partners working in campaign mode to push the envelope on planning, funding, and rapid deployment of large-scale coastal restoration projects.?
