Your campus may be going green, but is your country?  

From the White House to state capitols to city halls, Americans have elected hundreds of new leaders who share our vision of a world where our lives are powered by the wind and the sun, the air is clear and safe to breathe, our rivers and lakes are clean and toxic-free, and the forests, parks and other special places we love are protected and preserved.
But having a few good leaders isn’t enough. Not when we face so many powerful industries willing to pay practically any price to block real change.

That’s where Environment New Hampshire comes in.

Our mission is to research and advocate the policies and build and mobilize the public support necessary to win positive change for our environment. We have more than 100 professional staff working with our state-based groups in our national federation and in our Washington, D.C., office. We’ve organized 1 million members, activists and political allies to join us, winning changes that mean more solar and wind power, less global warming pollution, and more protections for our parks, waterways, forests and wilderness areas.

But we still have much more to do. We need to do more to document the problems, advocate the right policies, educate the public, mobilize more people to take action, build broader and stronger coalitions, and train and develop more organizers, advocates and other leaders to keep building the kind of support that can sweep past even the most powerful opposition. That’s where an internship with Environment New Hampshire comes in.

• Coordinating media events, assisting in the preparation of news releases and opinion pieces
  
  
• Assisting with managing the field campaign, figuring out where we should be campaigning each week.
  
  
• Working to build a citizen outreach staff in our campaign office.

The start and end dates are flexible. Interns typically work between 30-40 hours/week, the level of commitment can be tailored to your schedule.

Qualifications
We are looking for people who are serious about saving the planet, have a desire to strengthen and grow the environmental and progressive movement, and have demonstrated leadership experience.

Benefits
The internships are unpaid, but interns are given the opportunity to audit portions of our Activist Workshops as well as our classroom trainings in August, which features training from top environmental leaders in organizing, advocacy, and leadership skills.
