<![CDATA[CAREER OPPORTUNITIES WITH ENVIRONMENT AMERICA Take action to protect our environment. Work toward a greener America. Environment America, a federation of state-based environmental groups, is a powerful advocate for the environment and our health. We speak out at the local, state, and national levels to improve the quality of our environment and our lives. We've built a grassroots network across the country that has helped win initiatives on a wide range of environmental issues. For example, in 2007, Environment America played a key role in convincing Congress to make cars go farther on a gallon of gas for the first time since 1975. We also helped increase our use of renewable energy in more than two dozen states. Thanks to our work we’ll use 1.5 million fewer barrels of oil every year starting in 2020, while reducing global warming pollution dramatically. We have protected pristine wilderness areas across the country including winning a campaign to protect the Grand Canyon from toxic mining waste. We helped clean up and protect countless waterways including the Great Lakes, which were threatened by oil company BP and other polluters. And, in 2008, we worked to elect a stronger pro-environment majority in Congress and a president who will take our country in a new direction.

The 2010-2012 Fellowship Program: Job description Environment America’s Fellowship 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.

One week, you might take part in a coalition meeting, speak at a news conference, lobby lawmakers or their staff, and write an op-ed for publication in the state’s top paper. Another week, you might call a list of civic leaders to seek their endorsements of pending legislation, organize a town hall meeting with a lawmaker, and hold a rally in a key legislator’s home district. In addition to developing policy expertise and lobbying on issues, fellows play an important role in mobilizing and engaging the public on critical issues. You’ll canvass during the year and run citizen outreach canvass offices during each summer of the two-year program. 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. Qualifications We are seeking college graduates who care about the environment and who are driven to protect it. We look for strong leadership skills, academic excellence, problem-solving ability, and top-notch written and verbal skills. We value leadership experience, especially with campus and other activist groups. Position Availability Positions are available nationwide starting at our national training.
