Are you looking for an environmental internship or are you interested in volunteering with an environmental organization this summer? If so, then consider joining the OurEarth.org community. OurEarth.org is a grassroots initiative that intends to completely transform the way environmental programs, activities, and information are found on the Internet so that the public can become more proactive in protecting the environment.

OurEarth.org is a national 501(c)3 non-profit organization and it still has internships available for the summer. Internships are unpaid but students can receive course credit if they have their own faculty advisor. Students that do not have enough time to commit to an internship but would still like to be involved with our efforts are welcome to volunteer. For added flexibility, all work is done remotely so you can work from your home, campus, or anywhere else yet you will still have very frequent contact with the OurEarth.org leadership via conference calls and email.

What makes OurEarth.org unique and what are the advantages of getting involved? OurEarth.org is still a young organization so this is an opportunity to join on the ground floor of an up-and-coming organization. This means that you can take on leadership roles and, if you choose, have responsibilities that almost no other internships/volunteer activities can offer which can certainly be useful on a resume. Additionally, OurEarth.org involves over 60 environmental professionals, experts, and undergraduate and graduate students from around the country so this is opportunity to begin networking for a future environmental career.
