I am the field organizer for Environment Massachusetts, a statewide environmental advocacy organization based in Boston. We are looking for interns to work on our solar energy campaign this fall, and I'm contacting you because I thought that students in the Biology department might be good candidates for the position.

Interns with Environment Massachusetts make a difference on critical issues, learn about environmental problems and the political process, and gain valuable, hands-on experience with one of the nation's top environmental advocacy nonprofits.

Below is an announcement about our internships. Could you forward the announcement to the students in the Biology department?

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks,

Ben

Internships that Make a Difference

If you care about the environment and want to make a difference, apply to be an Environment Massachusetts intern today<http://jobs.environmentamerica.org/page/amr/apply-intern-environment-america>.

What do interns with Environment Massachusetts do? You’ll educate and engage more people on the most critical environmental issues of our time. You’ll get our issues into the media, build coalitions, organize events and lobby decision-makers. Ultimately, you’ll help us build the kind of public support it takes to win.

In Massachusetts, we’re building a clean and renewable future powered by the sun:  We could meet all of America’s energy needs by capturing just a sliver of the virtually limitless and pollution-free energy of the sun. And we're making a lot of progress: In Massachusetts, solar energy has grown more than 100-fold since 2008.

But we’re still getting most of our electricity from dirty sources like coal and gas, and the power of fossil fuel interests threatens to stop solar in its tracks. This fall, we’re ramping up our work to build support for a national goal of getting 10% of our electricity from the sun by 2030 — and in Massachusetts, we’ll push the envelope by mobilizing public support and building a powerful coalition of businesses and elected officials behind ambitious clean energy goals.

Becoming an Environment Massachusetts intern

If you agree that it’s time for Massachusetts to go solar, the best thing you can do to get involved is to apply to be an Environment Massachusetts intern today. We’re looking for students who care deeply about the environment and are ready to make a difference now.

As an intern:

  *   You’ll push for smart solutions to environmental problems, and build the public support it takes to win.
  *   You’ll work side-by-side with one of our organizers, learning the ropes.
  *   And you’ll make a real difference on critical issues, while developing valuable skills and experience in one of the nation’s leading environmental nonprofits.

And if you’re thinking you might want to make a career out of solving our greatest environmental problems, interning with Environment Massachusetts is one of the best ways to get started. You’ll get the training and experience you need, and we hire our most talented and committed interns to join our staff when they graduate.
