Hi, I'm Stephen. I've been working at Stand.earth for about 13 years. I work in Development and for somebody to work in philanthropy for 13 consecutive years is kind of unheard of in the nonprofit world. I always think that is a strong testament to the strong culture that Stand.earth brings to our work every single day. what brought me here to this organisation 13 years ago is what keep me coming back. It's a combination of some of the smartest strategists that I've ever had the pleasure to work side-by-side with as well as really compassionate leadership

I really enjoy working for Stand. I feel challenged in my role as People & Culture Manager and supported to make decisions and take charge of my growth and development. I'm part of a passionate, purpose-driven community that makes a really meaningful impact in the world. This is a place where you can truly thrive, contribute to significant change, and be proud of the work you do. I'm really proud to work at Stand.earth and although we work remotely, I feel uniquely part of an amazing movement.

Hi, I'm Liz, and i'm a Campaigns Director her eat Stand.earth. One of the things that I do in my job is I help Cities and community activitist to get fossil fuels out of their communities like building new buildings to be all electric with no gas lines. That's something that's really exciting for me right now. I feel really priviledged to get to work with such a team of smart, thoughtful and dedicated humans.
