Environment America is Hiring!
Become an Environment America Fellow: Fight for a green future. Learn what it takes to win.
My name is Michelle Hesterberg. I graduated from Carleton in 2011, and now I’m the Plains Federal Field Organizer at Environment America. We’re a statewide citizen-based environmental advocacy group. We’re about clean energy, clean air, clean water, and protecting open spaces – right now our top priority is doing our part to stop global warming. And, we’re hiring!
Environment America is a federation of 29 state-based groups with nearly 100 professional staff and more than 1 million members, activists and allies across the country. Each year, we hire graduating seniors with the passion, the commitment and the talent it takes to stand up to polluting industries, fight for a green future and do what it takes to win. Our Fellowship Program is a two-year crash course in the nuts and bolts of environmental activism, organizing, advocacy and the type of institution-building that can sustain long-term battles.
As a fellow, you’re not just learning how to make an impact; you’re making one. If you want to hear more straight from our current fellows, we put together a short video for you. You’ll find it on our website here. After two years as a fellow, you’ll have learned the ropes, gained invaluable hands-on experience and you’ll have made a real difference for the environment. Hear from two former fellows about the work they’re doing now to fight fracking here.
To learn more and apply, visit jobs.environmentamerica.org. Our early application deadline is Sunday, February 16th.
And if you’re not graduating this year, you should apply to be an Environment Minnesota intern – you’ll learn how to make an impact on critical environmental issues, and there’s no better way to get the experience to launch your career with us.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Interested in Teaching?

Each year, Southern Teachers Agency helps hundreds of candidates find jobs at outstanding private & independent schools throughout the mid-Atlantic and South – nearly 600 schools in 16 States from Pennsylvania to Florida to Texas. Private schools value candidates who have participated in a teacher certification program, but have the flexibility to hire teachers with a strong academic background in physics who have not taken courses in education.
