INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES / BAY AREA, CA

SIERRA CLUB CALIFORNIA WILD HERITAGE CAMPAIGN

Applications Due April 12th

-->please forward or post as open to interested parties<--

California is a beautiful state; souring mountain ranges, wild rivers, 
rolling hills, majestic forests and unparalleled opportunities for 
recreation in the outdoors.  Unfortunately, many of these wild areas are at 
risk.  In the last twenty years California has lost 700,000 acres of 
wilderness quality land to logging, mining and unchecked off-road vehicle 
use.  To protect the wild places that remain for future generations, the 
Sierra Club and California Wild Heritage Campaign are seeking interns for 
the summer of 2004 to work in the California Bay Area.

These full and half-time internships will be based out of the Sierra Club's 
Oakland field office.  Interns will coordinate and implement grassroots 
campaign tactics in a strategic effort to educate the public and effect 
positive change for the protection of our last remaining wild places.

The internships will involve, but not be limited to, community outreach 
through presenting the California Wild Heritage Campaign to various groups 
and the public at large, organizing hikes, recruiting/educating new 
coalition partners, preparing informational materials, working on events 
centered around the 40th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, and similar 
outreach activities.

The ideal candidate will be able to commit 2-3 months of their summer for 
full or half-time (40 hr or 20 hr work-weeks) participation on this project.

Please send a resume, cover letter and 1-2 references to 
dave.westman@sierraclub.org no later than start of business, April 12th 
with the title "Summer Internship" in the subject line.  Email applications 
preferred, but may also be mailed to the address below.

For a more detailed description of the internship or any other questions, 
please write to dave.westman@sierraclub.org

This internship is unpaid, but offers reimbursement for expenses incurred 
while performing job duties.
