Thank you for your interest in a Sierra Club internship. The Sierra Club is one of our nation's largest grassroots conservation organizations. Our statement of purpose is to explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of the Earth. We seek to accomplish this by the education and promotion of the responsible use of the Earth's ecosystems and resources. The Washington, D.C. office is one of the main vehicles of the Sierra Club for accomplishing their mission and concentrates on educating Congress, the public and Sierra Club members regarding the quality of the natural environment and monitoring legislative activities of environmental concern including the status of public policy decisions. The Sierra Club Legislative Office sponsors internships throughout the year. Our internships provide a hands-on opportunity for you to gain an in-depth understanding of the field of environmental protection and the specific role that the Sierra Club plays in this field. D.C. Office interns also learn firsthand how Congress works and the role of other non-governmental organizations in Washington. Interns are selected on the basis of their interests, education and experience in political science, environmental studies, natural resources, history, law, journalism, computer science or other related fields. We especially seek interns who have been directly involved in conservation work and have good communication and writing skills. Our normal intern rotations are in the fall, winter/spring, and summer but we are flexible with other starting dates. How to Apply Please send a resume, cover letter, and a two to five page writing sample to the DC internship contact at the Sierra Club (address below). Upon receipt of all the information by this office, your application will then be considered. Thank you for your interest!
