CleantechDiversity & InclusionVolunteer Overview

Certain populations of society are woefully underrepresented in all areas of the cleantech sector. Rather than accept this, LACI is proactively addressing this issue using a holistic, pragmatic approach. We need a volunteer interested in launching LACI’s cleantech diversity and inclusion initiative. As the Diversity & Inclusion Volunteer, you’ll work alongside LACI’s leadership to research diversity and inclusion best practices, interview key stakeholders, and develop a set of recommendations for how LACI can improve the level of engagement and participation among underrepresented populations in the cleantech sector. You will play a critical role in setting LACI’s strategy for the next three years.

Who we’re looking for:

• Deeply committed to creating inclusive, diverse workplaces, especially in a tech environment
• Curiosity, openness, and willingness to learn about others
• Can conduct interviews with external stakeholders and can represent LACI’s mission and values in those conversations
• Ability to commit 20-40 hours per week

What you’ll do:

• Conduct interviews with external stakeholders about diversity & inclusion
• Research and report diversity & inclusion best practices
• Create a stakeholder engagement plan, key metrics, and a three-year strategy

What you’ll get:

• Regular interaction with great entrepreneurs, mentors, VCs & corporate professionals
• Great exposure & education on the cleantech sector
• A chance to roll up your sleeves & contribute to one of the most exciting business crucibles around
• Deep satisfaction knowing you’ve helped open the cleantech sector to underrepresented Angelenos
