This is a work-from-home, part-time position (30 hours per week) that will require some travel for events and regular in person staff meetings. The schedule is generally Monday - Thursday, with working hours falling between 8:30PM - 5:30PM. However, there will be some weekend and evening hours for events and meetings. The base salary is $49,600 a year (not including benefits and home office allowance) and is non-negotiable, but in the case of additional hours being worked over the 30 hours (as approved by management) additional compensation will apply.

We are looking for someone with great communication skills, both written and verbal. Someone who is passionate and shares the values of the Sierra Club and is used to being self-motivated and a self-starter. 

Our Chapter Coordinator will assist with administrative tasks, fundraising, outreach, events planning and facilitation, and help volunteer leaders and staff in bringing new volunteers into the fold. The position will also be working with a team of volunteers working on our social media, graphics, website, and advocacy work. So, ideally, candidates would have some background in working with volunteers with diverse viewpoints and experiences and experience planning and coordinating events.

Energy bills are up again, but why? As we did last year, we put out a series of short videos that break down why energy prices are going up, and why they are likely to continue going up in the future unless we drastically correct course and bring more clean power online in Delaware. 

We also go over some more misinformation being put out by fossil fuel front groups and misinformed legislators. We also share some information on how Data Centers will raise rates for Delaware Electric Co-op and DEMEC (municipal energy utility) customers, even when data centers are in New Castle County.

Right now, about 50% of our members are not receiving our emails! That is usually because when you unsubscribe from a national Sierra Club (or partner) email, they automatically unsubscribe you from our Chapter emails as well. I know, it's frustrating, to say the least. However, you can easily fix it so you can receive JUST our emails.
