Employer Information Sessions: Environment America Information Session (Updated 10/27)

Most of us want a cleaner, greener, healthier future. Making it happen is the tough part. 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.

Environment America's mission is to research and advocate the policies and build and mobilize the public support necessary to win positive change for our environment. Environment America has organized 1 million members, activists and political allies to join in winning changes that mean more solar and wind power, less global warming pollution, and more protections for our parks, waterways, forests and wilderness areas.

That's where you come in. Join recruiters for an interactive information session on November 3rd, from 5-6pm to learn more about Environment America's 2010-2012 Fellowship Program. The program is designed to give you an opportunity to make an immediate impact even as you gain the training and experience you need to become a leader in the environmental movement.

In addition to developing policy expertise and lobbying on issues, fellows play an important role in mobilizing and engaging the public on critical issues. By the end of the program, you will have learned how to raise funds, build a membership, recruit and manage staff and volunteers, work with lawmakers and community leaders, earn media coverage, and run a successful grassroots campaign.

Environment America is seeking to hire recent AU graduates who are ready to commit their time, talent and energy to grassroots political action on behalf of our environment. Fellowship positions available nationwide.

Informal 30 minute interviews,'Office Hours', will take place in the career center on November 4th for students who would like to learn more about the 2010 Fellowship Program and application process.

Log into AU CareerWeb or Kogod CareerSource to review job postings, sign up for an office hours interview slot, and RSVP for this information session.
