Here are two internship/fellows positions. The first one is for Climate Change, and the one is a paid internship for the Center for an Urban Future. If you’re interested, please apply them soon!

1. Summer Internships for the Climate Change

Here is the announcement from the CCL for summer interns and fellows. The application deadline is very soon, March 31. So, if you are interested, please hurry up!

My name is Steffanie Munguía and I am the Student Engagement Manager for Citizens’ Climate Lobby/Citizens’ Climate Education (CCL). CCL is a national nonprofit organization that builds grassroots support for climate legislation. I’m reaching out today to share some opportunities that may be of interest to your students (below and attached) and learn how we can better support your institution.

We are currently recruiting students and recent graduates to join our team as interns or fellows. We have opportunities with a variety of different departments that may appeal to students across many disciplines. These experiences provide valuable work experience, networking opportunities, and may include academic or financial benefits. You can learn more about our current openings on our website. The application deadline is March 31st, 2022.

For students looking to deepen their learning outside of the classroom, we offer a free Climate Advocacy Certificate Program each semester. This provides valuable transferable skills in advocacy, climate science, and communication over the course of a 15-week remote course. Students interested in enrolling in next semester’s program should sign up by June 1st, 2022.

CCL is a growing organization and often has open positions that we advertise here. We also post climate related jobs from other organizations in our jobs forum.

2. Paid Internship Positions at the Center for an Urban Future

My name is Stephanie and I’m the Events and Operations Manager and Intern Coordinator here at the Center for an Urban Future (CUF). We’re an independent, nonpartisan public policy research think-tank that produces innovative analysis on economic development and workforce development issues in New York City, with a focus on promoting economic diversity. One pillar of CUF’s work is around CUNY as a key space for community and economic development —some examples of this work can be seen here, here, and here.

I’m reaching out because every semester we hire an internship crop of 4-5 policy research interns to support our work, and we’re specifically interested in making this paid opportunity available to more CUNY students. If at all possible, I would love to partner with you on sharing this opportunity with your college’s student network! We are eager to get even more CUNY applicants, and in turn interns, into our cohorts.

Our research assistants get hands-on experience conducting data analysis, phone interviews, writing policy memos, and more. They are also often cited as contributors to our work as seen here and here. Specifically, we think this program is best targeted to students pursuing degrees in public policy, urban planning, journalism, economics, government, social science, or related fields.

If you have any recommendations for any further steps we can take, or want to point your students in our direction, that would be great! Our internship posting with instructions for submitting applications can be seen on our website here, but I’m also attaching a shareable flyer.

We are still looking to fill a few more spots for this summer at 20 hours a week and $15/hour! The deadline for this upcoming cohort is 4/15, though early applications are also appreciated.
