The National Campaigns Team is dedicated to supporting National Wildlife Federation staff, partners, and impacted communities in achieving lasting, equitable, and just federal policies that conserve, restore, and improve the resilience of America’s wildlife and communities leading to transformational change. We achieve this vision by mobilizing national and local action, growing civic and political power, advising on the development of campaign plans and strategies, building the organizing skills and competencies of the Federation through training, and deepening our relationships with activists and partners through consistent, long-term, and intersectional organizing.
Our Role

- Build, grow and deepen relationships and collaboration with National Wildlife Federation affiliates, regional offices, and supporters to champion and execute the Common Agenda for Wildlife.
- Collaboratively create and build capacity with the affiliates to execute the Common Agenda for Wildlife.
