What We Offer

Our internships provide unique, behind-the-scenes learning experiences
where you join us to develop, implement, and monitor our diverse programs.
As a Human Impacts Crew member, you work in a collaborative environment
with our dynamic team.  We are looking for passionate and creative minds
who know how to turn ideas into action. We promise to support your personal
goals, while building your leadership potential.   We want crew members who
are passionate about environmental and social issues, and who really get
excited by marketing and communications, education, mission-driven
business, policy, research, and/or the non-profit sector. You will be a
great Human Impacts Crew member if you’re self-motivated, organized, a team
player, creative, and like diversity in your days.

Internships will last for approximately 12 weeks and will take place in
NYC.  Only applicants available for the full term (Mid-May to
mid-August--with some flexibility for start and end dates) and who can
commit a minimum of 15 hours per week will be considered.  We understand
that we all work best at different hours of the day and in different
settings.  As an intern with us, you will have the flexibility to complete
some of your hours on your own schedule--in your favorite coffee shop or
while sitting on the beach.  However, we require a minimum of two days of
face-to-face time at our NYC headquarters per week (we want to hang out
with you!).  You also get priority if you can commit to at least 20 hours
per week.

Our crew gives strong preference to applicants who receive college or
occupational training credits. We welcome international applicants (you
must have your U.S. visa before starting an internship) and professionals
looking to expand their experience base. Unfortunately, we are not able to
provide stipend, travel, or lodging assistance at this time.
