Location: Raleigh, NC
Reports To: Regional Field Director, PowerUp Raleigh Office
Salary Range: $50,000–$55,000/year
Status: Full-Time with Benefits
The North Carolina League of Conservation Voters Foundation (NCLCVF) is a statewide advocacy organization working to protect, preserve, and enhance the quality of life for all North Carolinians.
PowerUp NC, a key initiative of NCLCVF, organizes at the intersections of environmental and racial justice to build grassroots power in historically excluded communities. We equip residents to lead campaigns that advance equity, protect our environment, and hold decision-makers accountable.
We’re seeking a Field Organizer who thrives in dynamic environments, is energized by people, and is deeply committed to long-term community transformation.
The Field Organizer will play a lead role in building a strong, visible, and trusted presence in local communities. This role demands a high level of self-direction, motivation, and strategic thinking. The ideal candidate is someone who can balance immediate outreach tasks with long-term power-building goals—someone who knows how to set daily priorities, stay organized, and follow through consistently.
Organizing requires time, presence, and relationships. This position is best suited for someone who understands that community organizing is built in person—through deep listening, one-on-one conversations, showing up repeatedly, and investing in community trust. The work sometimes happens during evenings and weekends, when people are available, and the successful candidate will be comfortable building a schedule that aligns with this reality.
At the same time, PowerUp is deeply committed to supporting work-life balance. We believe sustainable organizing requires rest, boundaries, and wellness. A successful Field Organizer will be able to navigate the rhythm of evening and weekend community engagement while also modeling healthy time practices, pacing, and care for themselves and others.

NCLCVF is an equal opportunity employer. People of color, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and residents of historically marginalized communities are strongly encouraged to apply.

Position Type: Part-Time
Compensation: $20 per hour, including event planning time and post-event follow up

Navigators are trusted local leaders who help connect their communities to clean energy through federal, state, local, and utility funding opportunities. Working within a statewide coalition, navigators receive access to infrastructure and as-needed support to assist residents with identifying and applying for energy efficiency programs, tax credits, weatherization programs, rebates, and more.
This position is ideal for nonprofit leaders, community advocates, or any residents with strong local relationships and a passion for environmental justice and economic opportunity. We are prioritizing applicants within the following county delineations and strongly encourage residents in these communities to apply:
Although a significant amount of money is available to North Carolina families for clean energy upgrades in their homes, it is not easy to find out how and when to access it. In an effort to help make the funds available to those who need it the most, a statewide coordinating group built EnergyFundsForAll.org. This is a website created for residents across the Carolinas to learn more about ways to save money on energy bills, improve energy efficiency of homes and apartments, and install solar.
This toolkit was built to provide access to funding opportunities to all Carolinians regardless of race, gender, social standing, or political affiliation. Our toolkit features handy one-sheeters and helpful guides, ensuring you make the most of the available funds.
A Community Navigator Program will equip and inform NC residents on clean energy resources. This effort uses our established presence across the state to create a sustainable model of community empowerment and access by equipping existing community leaders and residents. Navigators will be expected to host outreach events in their communities and offer one-on-one coaching to help residents apply for specific programs. Public, optional trainings will be hosted for navigators and other interested folks to learn more about each program.
Navigators will be responsible for supporting 2-4 counties, based on regional grouping we’ve developed across the state. These groupings are designed to keep travel manageable and align with current partnerships, connections, and funding providers. However, if you have strong local knowledge or relationships in other counties, we welcome you to propose an alternate grouping and serve in those communities instead.
If you are interested in becoming a Clean Energy Community Navigator, please email info@energyfundsforall.org with a resume and cover letter briefly describing who you are, what community you are located in, and why you are interested in the position. We welcome applications on a rolling basis and encourage applicants from underrepresented backgrounds to apply.
