The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) coordinates federal environmental efforts and works closely with agencies and other White House offices in the development of environmental policies and initiatives. The Council's Managing Director serves as the principal environmental policy adviser to the President. CEQ is also responsible for ensuring that Federal agencies operate in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The challenge of harmonizing our economic, environmental, and social aspirations has put NEPA and CEQ at the forefront of our Nation's efforts to protect the environment. CEQ interns are given a wide range of assignments including conducting research, managing incoming inquiries, attending meetings, and writing memos on a variety of environmental issues. Interns have the opportunity to be involved in groundbreaking projects, working closely with staff from all levels and backgrounds. The pace in the office is fast, so accuracy and attention to detail are absolute requirements. Interns can expect to begin with the basics and gradually add more specialized projects as they gain experience. Internship opportunities are available on the following teams: Office of Energy & Climate Change, Office of Land & Water Ecosystems, Office of Climate Preparedness, Office of NEPA Oversight, Office of Legislative Affairs, Office of Public Engagement, Office of Climate Preparedness, Office of Communications, Office of Federal Sustainability, and Office of the Chief of Staff. Qualifications: We are seeking students who are: • Highly motivated • Self-directing with a high level of initiative and self-discipline • Able to thrive amidst the inherent pressure that comes with working within the Executive Office of the President Additionally, candidates should have: • Excellent verbal and written communications skills • Relevant classroom or practical experience • Keen attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple, simultaneous priorities and deadlines We strongly prefer candidates who are available to work full-time, but will consider part-time candidates who show exceptional capability. All internship positions are unpaid. CEQ can coordinate with students who are seeking college credit for participation, upon request. Most fall interns work a typical semester-based schedule (September-December); however, a position may be customized based on applicant availability and project needs.
