ENVIRONMENT RHODE ISLAND WWW.ENVIRONMENTRHODEISLAND.ORG

INTERN Internship Description: If you want to spend the semester learning how to make a real impact on the decisions that affect the energy we use, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the places we love, apply for an internship with Environment Rhode Island. The need to confront our environmental challenges has never been clearer. Take our nation’s reliance on oil to power our cars and trucks, which not only fuels global warming but endangers our health, our environment, our economy, and our national security. We know we need to kick our addition to petroleum, and we have the technology to make automobiles that go much farther on a gallon of gas––or better yet, that don't use any gas at all but the auto and petroleum industries and their allies in Congress are standing in the way of change. Special interests have deep pockets and incredible influence, and they’ll stop at little to maintain business as usual. That's where Environment Rhode Island comes in. Our mission is to research and advocate the policies and build and mobilize the public support necessary to win positive change for the environment––nationally, such as through our Clean Cars Campaign, and locally, like with our work to protect Narragansett Bay from toxic chemicals and sewage pollution.

Most recently, Environment Rhode Island won an important victory by settling our federal Clean Water Act lawsuit against the city of Newport. As part of the settlement, Newport agreed to eliminate illegal runoff and discharges into the bay.

Environment Rhode Island is one of twenty-nine state groups that make up Environment America, a national environmental advocacy group. With nearly 100 professional staff and 1 million citizen members, activists, and allies in the states and in Washington, D.C., we make the case and build the support necessary to overcome the opposition and win real results for the environment. The results of our work include: - more solar and wind power in twenty-nine states - policies to cut energy use in twenty-two states - state-wide caps on global warming pollution in six states - a regional cap on power plant pollution in ten Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states - the nation’s first ever limits on global warming pollution from cars and trucks - bans on disposable plastic bags and Styrofoam containers - action to preserve, protect, and expand national parks from Mt. Rainier to Acadia, from the Grand Canyon to Glacier - bans on offshore drilling in the eastern Gulf and along the Atlantic coast - strong protections for waterways from the Puget Sound to the Great Lakes to Narragansett Bay But it’s going to take a lot more work to meet and overcome our remaining environmental challenges. That’s where Environment Rhode Island's internship program comes in.

Internship Description: Each semester, Environment Rhode Island runs an internship program at our Providence office that gives students the opportunity to learn how to make a real impact on critical environmental issues. Interns research and analyze environmental problems and legislation, organize citizens and local organizations to build public pressure, generate media buzz through press releases and letters to the editor, and attend meetings with coalition partners and lawmakers. Prospective interns should select a focus issue listed below.

Clean Energy Internships: Environment Rhode Island is working at the state and federal levels to promote clean energy solutions that will cut global warming pollution while protecting public health and growing our green economy. In this internship, you will work to implement renewable energy and energy efficiency policies, to enact plans with specific emissions reduction targets, and broadly to ensure that politicians are pushing for policies that do what science says is necessary to prevent the worst effects of global warming.

Preservation Internships: Rhode Island is one of the most developed states in the country, and every month we lose more and more acres of farms, forests, and meadows to development, threatening our state's ecosystems and natural beauty. In this internship, you will put public pressure on our elected officials to not just make sure more of Rhode Island's remaining open spaces are permanently preserved, but also to redirect growth into existing communities by increasing the livability of our cities through public transportation and smart development.

Clean Water Internships: Our water resources are put at risk by a number of factors, from industrial uses to unsustainable development to polluted runoff, threatening the health of our communities and our environment. Here in the Ocean State especially, water is among our most precious resources. In this internship, you will work to reduce pollution into Narragansett Bay and across the country by pressing elected officials and regulatory agencies to both uphold and strengthen clean water standards.

An internship with Environment Rhode Island also gives you the training and the experience you need to land a job in the environmental movement after graduation. As part of the Environment America network, we annually hire passionate, talented, and committed recent college graduates to join our two year Fellowship Program.

Qualifications: We are looking for current college students who care about our environment and are driven to preserve it for the future. We look for strong leadership skills, academic excellence, problem solving ability, top-notch written and verbal skills, eagerness to learn, and a sense of humor. We have a great training program, so prior organizing experience isn't necessary, although if you have some that’s great. • Hours Per Week: flexible • Wage/ Salary: unpaid Application Instructions: Send a resume and short statement of interest to Channing Jones at cjones@environmentrhodeisland.org.

Call 401-421-6535 or email with questions. Slots are limited and hiring is rolling, so apply soon. 9 South Angell Street Providence, RI 401-421-6535 • cjones@environmentrhodeisland.org To view this posting on RhodyNet visit http:career.uri.edu & click “Students” in RhodyNet Icon
