Careers

Over Greenbelt Alliance’s 65-year history, we have stewarded this region’s beautiful natural landscapes while promoting the growth needed for thriving communities for generations to come. As a result, today, almost 3.3 million acres of the Bay Area’s nine counties are protected open spaces. Now, the Bay Area’s people, cities, and lands need critical help as our climate dramatically changes.

Joining our team means working with a bright and collaborative team who are dedicated to realizing a climate-resilient region—while having fun and enjoying great perks and benefits.
