Job description

This position is to work with our coalition of environmental groups and non-profit organizations to collaborate and try to achieve the science-based legislation and community actions we urgently need for climate solutions.

• The coalition is running a campaign called Change the Chamber/Lobby for Climate, focused on climate change solutions and youth engagement.

• The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a key obstructing trade group with its powerful pro-fossil fuel lobbying and its lack of a comprehensive approach to climate solutions. Giant corporations are U.S. Chamber of Commerce members, and are particularly sensitive to youth.

• We are encouraging more corporations to stop obstructing and start supporting science-based climate policy.

On a rolling basis, we select Climate Fellows to conduct research, provide media coverage, and engage with important stakeholders in the climate policy conversation. Each fellow helps with one of our core teams, while often joining another team within the organization.

Why Apply?

At Change the Chamber, we pride ourselves on our robust fellowship program, which seeks to provide a unique opportunity for all fellows, most of whom are volunteer fellows, while empowering individuals to advance the work of climate action in a substantial way. We provide students, recent graduates and young adults opportunities to learn the skills they need for their career and for climate solutions. In addition to the responsibilities listed below, we encourage fellows to proactively suggest new projects that advance Change the Chamber’s goals and create opportunities for their professional growth.

Various opportunities/responsibilities:

• Tracking the U.S. Chamber’s efforts to lobby against climate policy and fund climate-deniers

• Conducting analysis for reports sent to various corporations

• Writing blog posts for the Change the Chamber website and weekly newsletter

• Designing social media posts and creating the accompanying graphics (instruction will be provided if needed)

• Reaching out to key stakeholders and inviting them to engage in conversation

• Joining an additional team. Most fellows participate in multiple teams — options include Congressional Outreach, Social Media, Corporate Target Communications, Direct Action, Environmental Justice, and Graphic Design

Preferred Qualifications:

• Written and interpersonal communications skills

• Ability to work independently after initial guidance and as part of a group

• Flexible and able to tackle multiple assignments

• Attention to detail

Apply now if you want to:

• Improve your social media, community engagement, writing, research and communication skills

• Become well-versed in how the lobbying of trade associations affect climate solutions, from policy to the election of climate solution obstructors

• Engage in networking opportunities with government officials, sustainability experts, academics, corporate sustainability leaders, students and others in the climate space

• Enjoy a flexible schedule

Duration: At least 3 months. Most Fellows stay for one year.

Hours: At least 3 hr/week (flexibility to decide your own working hours based on school/work schedules)
