<h2>Tamalpais Community Services District - SB 1383 Organics and Recycling Compliance Fellow</h2>
<p>*Please note: We will be hiring one (1) 12-month Fellow for this role</p>
<p>If you are passionate about helping local governments reduce the waste they send to landfill and assisting with community outreach about waste laws and ordinances, then this may be an opportunity for you!</p>
<h2>About Tamalpais Community Services District</h2>
<p>The Tamalpais Community Services District (TCSD) is a special district (i.e., governmental agency) in unincorporated Marin County that provides solid waste residential and commercial collection services in Tamalpais Valley. As part of a regional approach to implementing the requirements of the Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Act (SB1383), TCSD has coordinated a regional SB1383 Local Assistance Grant (Grant) from CalRecycle with six other unincorporated Marin Special Districts including: Alto Sanitary District, Almonte Sanitary District, Bolinas Public Utilities District, Homestead Valley Sanitary District, Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District, and Strawberry Recreation District (Special Districts). TCSD has retained R3 Consulting to perform an initial analysis of the level of SB 1383 implementation that each participating Special District has undertaken. Once this work has been completed, R3 will recommend to each Special District the program improvements needed to meet the requirements of the regulations and implement systems to improve organics diversion and enhance organics collection. These programs will align with County-wide goals to act on climate change and promote healthy, safe, and sustainable communities.</p>
<h2>Position Overview and Description</h2>
<p>The principles of waste reduction and diversion of organics and recyclable materials from landfills are closely related to fighting climate change and advancing climate resiliency. Reducing fossil-fuel-based plastics, encouraging mindfulness surrounding consumption, reducing natural resource depletion through recycling, and avoiding landfill methane emissions while improving soil health through composting are just some examples of this intersection. TCSD and the other special districts are excited to host a 12-month Climate Corps Fellow to work on fighting climate change through the diversion of organics and recyclables away from landfills.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This Fellow position will assist with outreach and compliance with waste laws and ordinances. The work will entail coordinating with the participating Special Districts to complete community outreach and messaging related to reducing landfill waste, correct recycling, and composting, and complying with SB 1383.

Community outreach could include occasional weekend work, such as tabling at events.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The position will be supervised by TCSD staff with R3 Consulting assigning the tasks to be undertaken by the Fellow. The position will be housed in the TCSD main office, but we anticipate the ability to work remotely for 2 days per week depending on the tasks at hand. The position will require driving to the other participating Special Districts for meetings, training,&nbsp;and/or program implementation.&nbsp;</p>

<ul>
<li>Work with Tamalpais Community Services District as well as other participating Special District staff to identify and implement outreach opportunities for educating communities on proper waste sorting and waste reduction.&nbsp;</li>

<li>Work with TCSD staff and consultants to analyze program metrics in connection with the SB 1383 requirements.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Facilitate communication between the regional Zero Waste Marin SB1383 compliance programs with those of the participating Special Districts</li>
