Interested in Working at Western Resource Advocates?

A welcoming and supportive work environment

It’s our mission to ensure every team member is empowered to do their best work, cultivate new ideas by valuing a diversity of perspectives, and accommodate employees’ needs and schedules. Further, we offer generous benefits packages to encourage staff to unplug by taking advantage of Paid Time Off.

Collaboration across our region

Every year, our entire staff across the region is invited to a three-day retreat in a location that reminds us of the importance of protecting the West’s communities and most treasured places. We take this time to reflect on our work, evaluate our impact, build relationships within our organization, and just have fun.

Leading by example

We strive to implement environmentally-friendly practices in all of our offices. For example, our Nevada office is in a walkable downtown Carson City location. Our New Mexico office is ready for bike commuters, and our Utah office is just a block away from a light rail stop. Our Boulder office practices innovative storm water capture, and our Denver office is located in the certified Alliance Center.

A diversity of experiences

Staff at WRA come from a wide variety of professional and personal backgrounds. We’ve welcomed employees with backgrounds in environmental law, engineering, media, government affairs, and non-profit administration, among many other fields.

We are committed to creating an organization – and contributing to a larger conservation movement – that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive of people from all backgrounds. Our team should reflect the communities in which we work and live, and we are taking steps toward that goal.

Finding solutions to our most pressing environmental challenges

We pride ourselves in finding and fostering people with the talent and the tenacity to stand up to the challenges we face in the West and to provide solutions that last. We get things done. We all love this region and are committed to protecting its beautiful landscapes, flowing rivers, and thriving communities for generations to come.
