  • Liaise with elected officials’ staff to identify gaps in environmental outreach the Library can help close
  • Share environmental and health information and resources from BPL and the Library’s partners with Greenpoint residents, both in the Library and through canvassing and tabling around the neighborhood.

  • Track and report outreach data as needed.
  • Perform related duties as required.

  • High School Diploma or equivalent required, BA preferred.
  • Successfully demonstrated outreach or organizing experience appropriate to the position.

  • Knowledge of Greenpoint, its community and environmental issues
  • Bi-lingual in English and Polish
  • Excellent interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills including the ability to serve as an enthusiastic ambassador for the Library
  • Comfortable speaking with diverse audiences, including those at religious centers, community centers, senior centers and beyond.
  • Tech savvy and familiar with social media
  • Ability to work well independently and collaborate with BPL staff and external partners on outreach.
  • Required to work evenings and weekends as needed
  • Creativity, flexibility, and initiative in accommodating community and staff needs
  • Commitment to diversity and inclusion.

  • Lifting materials (shelving, moving, etc.)
  • Standing for long periods
  • Bending, Stooping, or crouching
