Clean Energy Internships
Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) is accepting applications for Clean Energy spring internships.
The Chesapeake Climate Action Network is the first grassroots, nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to fighting global warming in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Our mission is to educate and mobilize citizens of this region in a way that fosters a rapid societal switch to clean energy and energy-efficient products, thus joining similar efforts worldwide to slow and perhaps halt the dangerous trend of global warming.
We are in need of 3-4 qualified and dedicated individuals to work with us in several different capacities. We are looking for interns to support the following areas:
* Communications/media support for our clean energy and global warming campaigns/trainings.
* Campus Climate Challenge campaign and other campus activities
* Federal and state policy campaigns in Virginia and Maryland, with focus on grassroots activism
* Web Development/Online campaigns
In your cover letter, please indicate whether you would be most interested in working on the national, campus or state campaigns.
The position requires a commitment of at least 15 hours/week during Spring ’08 (January – May). Location of the internship is flexible. Dependent focus – campus or state – interns may have the option of working at the Takoma Park or Richmond offices, or from home.
Applicants should have excellent written and verbal communication skills, the ability to work independently, experience with organizing on campuses, and a strong commitment to clean energy and the fight against global warming. Positions available beginning in September.
