Environmental Program InternChicago Public Schools
Office of the CEO
Help create environmental programs and policy for over 600 public schools!
Chicago Public Schools' Office of the CEO is hiring an Environmental Program Intern for the 2008-09 school year. In the past year, the CEO's Office has created an Environmental Action Plan and run campaigns like Paper Waste Busters.
We are seeking an intern to expand our successes. The Environmental Program Intern will help implement programs on waste reduction, recycling, composting, energy use, gardens, and transportation; programs are targeted to administrative departments and school-based staff. Interns will have the opportunity to spearhead a project. Successful candidates will have a background and strong interest in environmental issues, especially in governmental and educational settings. This position includes creating effective school outreach, and familiarity with CPS or a large urban school system is desired. Clear and persuasive written and spoken communication, research and data analysis skills, creativity, and perseverance are required. This is a relatively formal working environment.
This paid internship runs from September to June, 10-20 hours per week, and is available to work-study eligible graduate students. We will also consider undergraduate students seeking a quarter/semester position, who will receive transit passes during their service. This internship provides an excellent introduction to city-wide government structure, policy implementation and assessment.
To apply, please send a resume and cover letter to:
