**General Description: **
**[LCV](https://www.lcv.org/)** believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.
For more than 50 years, LCV has grown into a potent political force for protecting our planet and everyone who inhabits it. We have built a powerful national movement with 30+ state affiliates, and grassroots and community organizing programs across the country.
LCV is hiring a Data & Evaluation Director serving the Community and Civic Engagement (CCE) department, as well as the state LCV affiliates, who will, where permitted by law, utilize data in the voter file to determine which voters and members of the general public are likely to be engaged on environmental issues, and maintain voter file information that permits the organization to educate the public and motivate supporters to become active civic participants. Reporting to the Vice President of Civic Engagement, the Data & Evaluation Director will oversee data and targeting-related activities on voter registration, civic engagement, voter mobilization and community organizing for the CCE department and our flagship programs: Democracy for All (DFA) and Chispa.
Democracy For All (DFA) is one of the largest and most dynamic civic engagement programs in the nation and the largest program of its kind within the environmental movement, registering over 1.5 million new voters in the past decade. We operate in partnership with 30+ state affiliates in the Conservation Voter Movement (CVM), which gives Democracy For All substantial capacity and geographic reach. Our mission is to build a more just and equitable democracy that is responsive to all people and their will to protect the planet. Nationally, Democracy For All is improving access to and trust in our democracy, so communities that our country has traditionally left out of the decision-making process can reclaim their rightful influence, resulting in a system that responds to people’s will to overcome our country’s most critical environmental challenges. Democracy For All advocates for structural democracy reform, registers and turns people out to vote, and conducts transformational community organizing.
Chispa_, _a program of LCV, works to ensure that Latine communities and leaders have a strong voice in the movement for climate justice and within the environmental movement and influence the environmental policies and decisions that impact our health and environment. Based in the Community & Civic Engagement department, Chispa has programs in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Nevada, and Texas.
