h...@nextgenclimate.org
NextGen Climate (www.nextgenclimate.org) is currently seeking interns to work in our San Francisco office for the 2015 summer term. We are a non-partisan, political organization focused on bringing climate change to the forefront of America's political dialogue. This means working at every level to support candidates, elected officials and policymakers across the country that will take bold action on climate change—regardless of political affiliation—and to expose those who deny reality and cater to special interests.
The internship program offers positions in our research, public policy, political, communications, and digital content departments. Interns with political campaign experience are particularly encouraged to apply.
How you Will Benefit:
- Experience in a fast-paced professional work environment
- Receive training, mentoring, and direct supervision
- All interns will be treated respectfully by coworkers and supervisors
- Although not entitled to wages during the internship program, all interns will receive a small stipend to help cover living and travel expenses
- Note: interns are not entitled to a job at the end of the internship
What We Require:
- Passion for reversing climate change and building a movement of climate voters across the country
- Strong desire to learn new ideas/skills and exposure to a professional environment
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Detail-oriented with the ability to produce high quality work under tight deadlines
- Creative and flexible
- Excellent team player
- Background check
