Internship Opportunity with Environment Florida

Nancy Goodes is the new Impact campus organizer for Environment Florida’s 100% Renewable campaign during the spring semester in Tallahassee. She is opening an opportunity for students to support a larger cause. Impact is hiring interns to work on Environment Florida’s 100% Tallahassee campaign for the Spring 2019 semester. The internship is a part-time (10-20 hours a week), unpaid position in Tallahassee across three college campuses.

For a place that’s called the Sunshine State, it’s disappointing that so little of our energy needs are met by renewable sources like solar energy. Our health, our climate, and the beautiful places we love are all at risk because of our continued dependence on oil, gas, and coal. That’s why Impact is working with Environment Florida to get local commitments towards a cleaner, greener future with the 100% Tallahassee campaign.

100% Tallahassee aims to get commitments from Florida State University, Tallahassee Community College, Florida A&M University, and the city of Tallahassee to commit to running on 100% renewable energy by 2050. Impact interns will take part in campaign organizing to educate the public on the importance of transitioning to clean energy, gain media attention for the campaign, engage stakeholders in the issue, and ultimately get concrete commitments.

Different positions include:

Grassroots Intern

Grassroots organizing is the main tactic for this campaign. Intern responsibilities will include recruiting volunteers to collect petitions, educating fellow students faculty, and alumni about the campaign, and ensuring that campaign events are well-attended and run smoothly.

Media and Journalism Intern

The Media and Journalism Intern will help the campaign get earned and opinion media attention. This includes writing and submitting Letters to the Editor, co-authoring an Op-Ed, creating written social media content, and reaching out to local media to cover our campaign events.

Communications and Graphic Design Intern

The Communications and Graphic Design Intern will assist with creating engaging visuals for the campaign, and keeping volunteers and coalition partners up-to-date with the campaign. This includes designing e-newsletters, flyers for recruitment, campaign stickers and apparel, and props for photo petitions or events.

Partnerships Intern

The Partnerships Intern will assist in having student organizations, local businesses, and elected officials to partner on the 100% Tallahassee campaign. This includes meeting with organizations, finding keynote speakers for events, and having them join a sign-on letter in support of the campaign.
