Do you have good telephone skills, writing ability, data management skills, and media savvy?

We can put you to work!

We are looking for 2 summertime volunteers to:

1.) Engage Environmental Activists in our “S.O.S.” post card campaign.
As an “S.O.S.” Campaigner you will recruit activists who will each commit to getting 10-20 post cards signed and delivered. You will be responsible for recruiting, tracking and managing this process.  You will help us generate hundreds of post cards addressed to the Puget Sound Partnership to rally support for an Action Agenda which is strong, accountable, transparent and enforceable.  

2.) Recruit Environmental Activists to attend the upcoming summer Puget Sound Partnership workshops.
The single most crucial element of the S.O.S endeavor is public participation. With the aim of making the development of the Agenda a truly participative and transparent process, the Puget Sound Partnership will hold a series of public workshops in July 2008.
