Clean Air Internship

About this Job We believe there’s something special about Texas — something worth protecting and preserving for future generations. Whether it's swimming at Barton Springs on a hot day, paddling down the Trinity River or hiking through Big Bend National Park, Texas' natural wonders enrich our lives in countless ways. Yet the places we love and the environmental values so many of us share are too often threatened by powerful industries, shortsighted politicians and more. Defending our environment requires independent research, tough-minded advocacy and spirited grassroots action. That’s the idea behind Environment Texas. Together with thousands of supporters from all walks of life, we take the kind of action that wins tangible results for our environment. We've won lawsuits against four of the state's biggest air polluters, stopped the sale of a mountain range by Big Bend, and helped win big investments in clean energy and water conservation at the Legislature. As our Clean Air Intern, you'll help us hold polluters accountable work, research and write reports on air pollution, attend coalition and lobby meetings, secure media attention, and talk to community members and groups about air pollution.
