Description:
Summer Communications Intern
GRID Alternatives (www.gridalternatives.org) is a rapidly growing non-profit
organization that provides renewable energy and energy efficiency services to
low-income families. Our main program is the Solar Affordable Housing Program,
where we lead teams of volunteers and job trainees to install solar electric
systems for low-income homeowners statewide.
We are looking for a Summer Communications Intern to help improve our statewide
communications efforts. Emphasis will be on helping us as we develop a new GRID
Alternatives website and on conducting outreach with media outlets. Specific
duties will vary, but will include both technical and non-technical tasks. The
Intern will have substantial opportunities to build skills and experience in
website development, graphics, multimedia, writing, and media relations.
This is not a "busy-work" internship - you will have high-level access to GRID
Alternatives' leadership and significant opportunities to make a major impact on
our organization. This is a great opportunity to build your skills, learn about
renewable energy, and help make a difference for low-income families.
