Paid Summer Internship
Mighty Earth

Who We Are:
Mighty Earth is a global campaign organization that works to protect tropical forests, oceans, and the climate with staff based around the world. We have played a leading role in persuading the world’s largest food and agriculture companies to adopt policies to eliminate deforestation and human rights abuse from their supply chains and driven adoption of multi-billion-dollar shifts to clean energy. Our Chairman, former United States Congressman Henry Waxman, is responsible for some of the most important environmental legislation of the last 50 years, notably the 1990 reauthorization of the Clean Air Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act.

What We Are Looking For: 
If you can conduct research, think creatively, and write persuasively; are a self-starter who can work both independently and shoulder-to-shoulder with our team; and care deeply about addressing some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges, this is the internship for you. 

As part of our internship program, you will work with our talented staff and learn some of the fundamentals of environmental advocacy and campaign work, ranging from research, writing, media relations, grassroots organizing, event planning, social media, presentation skills, and more. Over the course of your internship, you will join one of our campaign teams fighting deforestation and climate change by working to protect native ecosystems and local communities from the palm oil, soy, cattle, cocoa and/or rubber industry.
