Rainforest Collective Coordinator

Save to Favorites

In 2021, Rainforest Partnership launched Rainforest Collective, an unprecedented coalition of forest-focused organizations with the mission of ending deforestation for good. The Collective will map out a cohesive strategy for rainforest protection, collectively advocate for forest protection and zero-deforestation, and create innovative instruments to tap into new funding sources and build pathways for funding to more efficiently reach community-based work on the ground.

To facilitate the growth of this initiative, RP is looking for a dedicated, organized, and reliable Rainforest Collective coordinator to support the Rainforest Collective leadership team.
