The WRRC is seeking to fill outreach and engagement positions with AmeriCorps service members and graduate students. We are soliciting applications from motivated individuals who wish to contribute to information sharing about water management, policy, use, and research with a wide range of audiences. Eligible AmeriCorps candidates should have experience with communications, writing and editing, working as part of a team, and a genuine interest in water and the environment. Their service will include assistance with communications and/or outreach tasks, which may involve writing for the Weekly Wave and the Arroyo, preparing for and supporting virtual and in-person events, or assisting with other programmatic efforts. AmeriCorps members will receive a stipend, ongoing training, and an education award upon completion of service. Under the direction of staff, the Graduate Research Assistant will support stakeholder programs and outreach by helping to coordinate and facilitate meetings and workshops, assisting with meeting logistics, taking notes and actions, and performing research to answer community questions. The student may also assist with interviews, survey development, data analysis, literature reviews, communications, and other tasks addressing stakeholder needs. At the WRRC, engaging with the public is a central part of our programs. Outreach strategies include the Weekly Wave newsletter, Water Webinars, special events, our annual conference, and invited presentations.
