EJ Internship in China

EXTENDED call for environmentaljustice fellowships to some U.S. participants. As you may know, CEF isworking with Vermont Law School on a program to create a group of 18young environmental professionals for an Environmental Justice YoungFellows Exchange program. We received a considerable number ofapplications from Chinese applicants as of the original November 13thdeadline, but not enough from U.S. citizens. Thus, VLS and its partnersare extending the deadline for U.S. applicants ONLY for this uniqueexchange program that will provide leadership training opportunities to18 Chinese and American women and men, particularly members of minoritygroups, who are active in environmental justice efforts. Participants inthe program will jointly examine the environmental burdens, includingclimate change impacts, on minority communities and low-incomepopulations in the United States and China and will be mentored indesigning projects to advance environmental justice for thosecommunities. The new applications are due December 14th. The link below is the full application, as well as a collection of FAQswe received during the first call for applications. For this extendedcall we wish to stress to the U.S. applicants that they do NOT have tobe engaged in work related to environment in China, rather we areseeking U.S. citizens who have at least 2 years work experience inenvironmental justice area or in an environmental or law area that laysthe foundation for them to work on environmental justice issues in theUnited States. Please see below for the program announcement,application materials, and FAQs. http://www.wilsoncenter.org/index.cfm?topic_id=1421&fuseaction=topics.item&news_id=564096Big thanks for helping us to pass this on!JenniferJennifer L.
