The Moore Institute is looking for two candidates who are passionate about our mission and values and who will bring their unique talents and perspectives to our team. We are a small and innovative organization, headquartered in Long Beach, California. Board members enjoy the benefits of working with a fun team who is relaxed and welcoming. While the staff run the daily operations and programming, the Board of Directors provides guidance, oversight and evaluation of the organization, the program areas, and the Executive Director. Moore Institute Board Members are expected to serve a 2-year term, attend 6 board meetings per year, and participate in committee work. We are proud to be a collaborative group that enjoy motivating each other to make a big impact.

Our mission is to expand our knowledge about plastics and how they impact our environment and health. Our goal is to provide the results of our findings to governmental policy makers and industry decision makers. 

The Moore Institute works closely with our sister org, Algalita; the organization that started the movement to end plastic pollution nearly 25 years ago.  Algalita has sparked connections between scientists, policymakers, corporations, young change-makers, and subject matter experts across the globe.
