Internships

Spring 2025 Internships

Are you passionate about climate justice and want to take action? Join 350Vermont to get hands-on experience with the grassroots climate movement in VT! As an intern, you will contribute to 350VT’s core organizing and communications work across the state through our Just Transition campaign. Our campaign is building the political will and organizing power to bring about effective climate solutions and a future in which all can thrive. We work to engage communities, businesses, and political leaders to transition Vermont away from fossil fuels and toward accessible, low-carbon energy sources.

Organizing Internship 

Learn the nuts and bolts of how grassroots organizing works! You’ll help us engage, educate, and mobilize people in Vermont, locally and around the state, to take action for climate justice. You’ll get a close-up view of how campaigns develop in real time as local issues play out and as the state legislative session takes place. You’ll experience different aspects of a nonprofit organization while collaborating with 350VT staff and volunteers. Depending on what emerges in our campaigns, as well as your interest and availability, you may help us with research, planning and running workshops, organizing rallies or other events, supporting volunteer groups, and other organizing needs. This internship is an incredible opportunity to learn about many aspects of how changemaking happens! 

Communications Internship 

Learn about the public communications aspect of grassroots organizing! You’ll collaborate with 350VT staff and our volunteer comms team on communications that support the climate justice work happening across our statewide network. You’ll help with our social media, as well as with other communications needs depending on your availability and interest: website, print materials, photography, video, audio, tabling/outreach, and comms engagement data. This internship is a great opportunity to explore how to inform and engage the public effectively around some of the most important social justice and environmental issues of our time!
