- Organizing press conferences to raise media attention around our work
- Writing Letters to the Editor and Op-Eds to local newspapers
- Building coalitions with other environmental advocates
- Meeting virtually with local and state officials to advocate for renewable energy
- Researching clean energy potential in Massachusetts
Who you are: You are an aspiring change maker who is looking for an opportunity to take action and make a difference. Whether your passion is politics, the environment, organizing, or somewhere in between, you will gain skills for a future career in activism.
Details: We have a limited number of internship positions available for this spring semester. Interns typically work 10-15 hours per week during the academic year. Due to the ongoing health and safety risks of the COVID-19 pandemic, all work will be done remotely. The position is unpaid and is eligible for college course credit.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The deadline to apply for a spring internship is Friday, January 29th.
