We're hiring a Community Weaver!

Happy Friday!

Just a few things for you this week:

• Thank you :)
• We're hiring a?Community Weaver !
• "LinkedIn's top voices for the green economy" ?(I managed to sneak onto this list somehow)

Thank you :)

Y'all are the best.

A huge thank you to the 64 people who stepped up and collectively gave $5,751 since the announcement of the grant from the Woka Foundation:

Agata Saitta, Aldís Elfarsdóttir, Amber Baur, Amir Haghighat, Avia Matossian, Benoit Clement, Betsy Franco Feeney, Bonnie Rubesha, Brian Israel, Brian Unitt, Bruce Karney, Bruce Karney, Chris Meyer, Dan H, Daniel Elledge, Deb Matherly, Doug Schneider, Douglas Imbrogno, Dr. Lalita Sidana and Samudra Vijay, Emily Kehmeier, Fran Ludwig, Franziska Elmer, Geraldine Garrs, Gregory Kinlan, Hannah Caswell, Heidi & Stephen Frail, Jack Kinlan, Jane Conner, Jeff Battles, Jeff Szot, Jessie Thomas, Jill Kubit, Jonathan Cloud, Julian Kraus-Polk, Kai Martin, Kenneth Winter, Lara Scott Bosley, Larry Yu, Laurie Watt, Matt Daly, Matt Neckes, Melane & Chuck Bisbas, Michael Moran, Mike Kennedy, Monica Warren, Nancy Richter, Nicole Amidon, noah mertz, Patrick and Rachel, Peggy Wood, Peter Gould, PJ Mensel and family, Raja Ratnam, Rob Bonney & Jim Mulloy, Robert Connors, Ruth Demeter, Sam Dushay, Sam Levac-Levey, Sam Miyamoto, Susan Zugaib, Suzanne Hamner, Tom Atkinson, Trevor Tierney, and more!

I trust y'all and am confident we will achieve this.

In doing so you're enabling us to hire our second ever full-time employee, which is really an investment in our community and scaling our impact.

So again,?thank you.

We're hiring a Community Weaver!

So, I may be a bit biased, but I think?this is a cool ass job .

We’re looking to hire someone whose overarching mission will be to:

• Maximize connection and strengthen relationships within the Crowdsourcing Sustainability community.
• Empower the CS community to maximize our collective impact.

Some more high-level info for those who are curious:

• Full-time position, Flexible hours.
• Virtual.
• Salary $65,000 (same as me, no employee benefits for CS yet).
• Paid time off: Option to take every other Friday off! I want you to do whatever you need to take care of yourself and be energized at work really. So whatever the right balance is for you.
• You will be the second full-time employee and will technically report to the Executive Director, but I am really looking for a partnership - someone who's a self-starter.

The person who gets this job will get to constantly connect with, organize, and help amazing people (like you!) who care about climate and are stepping up to do something about it.

You can?learn a lot more about the role here .

If you're really excited and believe you'd do an amazing job,?please do apply ?(would be so cool to hire someone from the community!) And if you're not interested in the role personally, please do share it with your network/anyone who you think would be a good fit!

What's up next?

We've got a webinar on Thursday, June 23rd at 1 pm ET with Michael Boswell and Adrienne Grieve who are professors at Cal Poly and co-authors of the book:?"Climate Action Planning: A Guide to Creating Low-Carbon, Resilient Communities" (you'll have the opportunity to register soon, so keep an eye out).

We've also got a webinar in the works on how to go solar (in the US) with our friends over at EnergySage. I used their platform 4 years ago to help my parents get solar - they're a free and?super?helpful agnostic marketplace that vets installers, collects and compares quotes for you, keeps your contact info safe, provides a free advisor, and really helps make the whole process much easier. If you want a head start, you can use their?solar calculator ?to see how much your house would save by going solar!

We also have a newsletter coming up on sustainable banking and investing. This space is finally starting to come alive with better options - thank goodness!

You can now have a bank that puts 100% of your deposits into climate solutions, instead of your money funding the typical mix of status quo things that often includes fossil fuels.

(Spoiler: there are multiple options but I've been using Atmos Financial for 4 months now and I'm a fan. They're climate people and are incentivizing their customers to support climate nonprofits (0.8% savings rate if you do). So we've partnered with them and get $20 whenever someone signs up through?this link . A much deeper dive on sustainable banking and investing to come!)

I don't know about you, but I'm super excited - it's going to be a big year for the Crowdsourcing Sustainability community and our climate impact!

Best,

Ryan
