The Climate Advocacy Lab, incubated at the Skoll Global Threats Fund, helps climate and clean energy advocates run the most effective public engagement campaigns possible. Launched in 2015, “The Lab” has quickly grown to be a network of 1,700+ advocates, social scientists, data experts and funders developing and sharing best practices for what works–and what doesn’t–for engaging and mobilizing Americans on climate and clean energy. In addition to running workshops and trainings for the community, the Lab also facilitates and gives grants to support field research aimed at testing how best to engage people on these issues. They are a growing organization with headquarters based in San Francisco, CA.

Skoll Global Threats Fund has exclusively retained Nonprofit HR to assist in its recruitment efforts for an enthusiastic, detail-oriented Administrative Assistant for its Climate Advocacy Lab.
