Job Title: Organizing Intern, Beyond Coal
Department: Campaigns, Beyond Coal
Location: Fayetteville or Northwest Arkansas
Reports to: Campaign Manager, Beyond Coal
Duration: 15 hours per week for 24 weeks
Context: At the Sierra Club, we believe in the power of interdependence. Together, we remain committed to the fight for a healthy climate built on a foundation of environmental, racial, economic, and gender justice – a future where all people benefit from a healthy, thriving planet and a direct connection to nature. As the climate crisis and deeply entrenched systemic racism all fuel injustice, we will continue to fight for a bold, transformational agenda that recognizes the interconnectedness between our planet, our humanity, and our future. By recognizing that our destinies are tied, we continue to name that all things are fundamentally connected, and the overlap between ecology, race, gender, and representative government will move to either advance our collective humanity or to oppress it. Sierra Club has close to 800 staff across the country and a network of 64 local chapters that are led and fueled by thousands of volunteers. We are also proud to be a unionized employer, with three labor unions representing more than half of our employees.
Scope: The Sierra Club is looking for a Beyond Coal Organizing Intern to support campaign work in Northwest Arkansas as we work to move away from fossil fuels and towards clean energy. This position will include assisting in public education and engagement on college campuses such as the University of Arkansas and other nearby schools, as well as in the broader community. The work will further the Arkansas Beyond Coal team’s efforts to retire coal plants across Arkansas, which will advance the health and beneficence of the Northwest Arkansas community that is home to nearly 600,000 residents affected by this pollution.
