WE’RE ON A MISSION TO PROTECT THE GREAT LAKES STATE.
JOIN OUR GROWING TEAM.
In June 2021, Michigan LCV adopted an ambitious strategic plan. In 20 years, we aim to reverse the legacy of toxic pollution, which has had devastating impacts on human health and our climate so we can provide every Michigander access to the cleanest air and land, and safest, most affordable water in the nation. In order to accomplish these goals, we need to grow our team.
