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

Please let me know if you have any questions!
Cheers,
Rebecca

Sierra
Club Giving Two Young Adults a Summer Adventure of a Lifetime
Big Changes to 2013 Best Internship on Earth
(SAN FRANCISCO) –The Sierra Club is
making it possible for two young adults to spend the summer enjoying,
exploring, and protecting the planet. From historic climate rallies
and high-adrenaline outdoor adventures to student leadership gatherings and
celebrity experiences in nature, two outdoor enthusiasts will get VIP
access to go inside America’s most effective grassroots environmental
organization.
The Best Internship on Earth is
an exceptional summer program blending job experience in media production
with adventure and activism. 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.
Previous itineraries have included such destinations and activities as
surveying ancient artifacts on an archeological dig during a service trip in
Utah, attending a family event sponsored by Military Families and Veterans
Initiative, lobbying in Washington DC; backpacking in Southern
California in the San Jacinto Mountains with Inner City Outings,
marching in the Puerto Rican Day Parade; and outdoor leadership training
with the Sierra Student Coalition. The 2013 itinerary will in part be
shaped by the Best Interns’ interests.
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.
The ideal candidate is passionate about the environment and being outside,
open to new experiences, a skilled storyteller, experienced with video
software and production, and highly engaged with their online
community. To apply, students and recent graduates over the age of 18
must submit a video clip (60-90 seconds) showcasing their love for the
outdoors and why they want to intern with the Sierra Club. In
addition to a stipend and all-expenses paid travel, the winning interns
will each receive $1,000 worth of merchandise provided by The North Face, a
hallmark brand for outdoor gear, apparel and footwear.
