Careers

The Environmental Law & Policy Center is the Midwest’s leading environmental legal advocacy organization.

Our staff is made up of extraordinary individuals who work together across disciplines and offices to solve the most pressing environmental challenges of our times. We regularly have job opportunities at our headquarters in Chicago or offices across the region. You may be just the candidate we’re looking for.

Our Values

We are a public interest advocacy nonprofit that enacts substantive environmental change, from the Great Lakes to the Great Plains. We work to improve people’s lives at the local, state, and national level. We believe that when we improve the environment, we bolster the economy. The Midwest is our home, and ELPC’s expertise and deep roots here makes the difference.

Our Benefits

Our most important resource is our people, so that’s where we invest. We provide a robust package of vacation and sick days, medical, dental and vision insurance as well as short- and long-term disability and life insurance. Employees are eligible for employer 403(b) contributions and matching, as well as contributions to a Health Savings Account for those enrolled in our health plan. New parents can enjoy six weeks of paid parental leave. We also encourage a healthy lifestyle with free access to the building gym in Chicago and pre-tax commuter benefits. Bike to work or take public transportation and we’ll reward you for keeping your carbon footprint low! And of-course we offer a hybrid work environment to help you integrate work and life, because we know how busy you are and value your time.

We welcome people of all backgrounds, and seek to foster a culture of respect, inclusion, learning, and integrity. Regardless of your job title, you’ll share in our victories.
