Hi Barbara, I'm so excited to tell you about this year's Best Internship on Earth with the Sierra Club - from historic climate rallies and high-adrenaline outdoor adventures to student leadership gatherings and celebrity experiences in nature, outdoor enthusiasts will get VIP access to go inside America’s most effective grassroots environmental organization! For the first time, the Sierra Club will select two young adults (college students or recent graduates) for the Best Internship on Earth – one position for someone skilled in video production, one position for someone with an interest in being on-camera talent.  Both roles offer an incredible opportunity for adventure, travel and storytelling.  When not on the road, the Best Interns will work with Sierra Club’s communications team in San Francisco, CA, to review, cut and edit video clips, chronicle their journey in a blog and promote an appreciation of nature through outdoor education and adventure using available media resources. I'm reaching out for your assistance in reaching anyone (over the age of 18) who is passionate about the environment, loves the outdoors and is looking for an adventure this summer.  Please direct them towww.sierraclub.org/bestinternship.  We also have a flyer that's perfect for passing around campus - download here: http://content.sierraclub.org/bestinternship/faq (scroll to the bottom). Please let me know if you have any questions!
