This summer, join the OurEarth.org community. This is a chance to work on a number of diverse environmental projects, be in a team with students from other colleges, earn course credit, and because OurEarth.org is still a young organization, this is an opportunity to join on the ground floor of an up-and-coming initiative. This means that you can take on leadership roles and, if you choose, have responsibilities that almost no other internships can offer which can certainly be useful on a resume. Additionally, OurEarth.org involves over 60 environmental professionals, experts, and undergraduate and graduate students from around the country so this is opportunity to begin networking for a future environmental career. Lastly, for added flexibility, all work is done remotely so you can work from your home, campus, or anywhere else, yet you will still have very frequent
contact with the OurEarth.org leadership and other interns via conference calls, email, webinars, and other electronic mediums. OurEarth.org is a national, 501(c)3 non-profit organization and grassroots initiative that intends to completely transform the way environmental programs, activities, and information are found on the internet so that the public can become more proactive in protecting the environment. If you might be interested in an internship, read the internship program description and application (http://www.ourearth.org/students/OurEarth_2010_Application.doc),visit our website (http://www.OurEarth.org/), and review our organization’s brochure (http://www.ourearth.org/students/OurEarth.pdf). Finally, if you decide to apply, act quickly since admission is done on a ROLLING BASIS. If you have any questions, please contact John Ullman at (410) 878 – 6485 or jgu@duke.edu, to get additional information.
