The science is settled, and 99% of climate scientists agree that human activity is driving a climate crisis across the Earth. We know it’s happening, and we know why: carbon pollution from fossil fuels is warming our planet and throwing natural systems out of balance. You don’t have to look far to see the results: hotter temperatures, stronger storms, rising seas, and so much more threatening the health of our families and the future we pass on to generations to come.
That's why we must vote, make our voices heard, and organize! What better place to start than on your campus? As an intern, you will be provided with the training and resources to mobilize students on your campus around the climate crisis!
Training and skills you can expect to gain:
- Get Out The Vote (GOTV) organizing
- Public speaking
- Coalition building
- Interpreting complex policies
- Grassroots advocacy
- Meeting with elected officials
- Networking with like-minded students
- So much more!
