Green Light New Orleans Internship Program
Green Light New Orleans is looking for bright and environmentally conscious candidates to pursue and implement methods to directly enhance the effectiveness of our environmental grass-roots organization. Much of our internship positions involve office work, volunteer coordination, research, community outreach, and social/digital media. We are looking to directly implement the results of our internships to develop key aspects that will provide for future success of Green Light locally and abroad. Interns are encouraged to think freely and will be allowed to pursue their ideas openly.
We are always looking to fill several positions during these time periods so if you are interested in learning more about non-profit work, looking to get more involved in the community while at the same time taking a part in the importance of energy efficiency and environmental justice, Green Light New Orleans is the place to be!

Tip the Block is meant to bolster action towards a much safer, healthier, and more environmentally sustainable community. Ideal candidates must be detail oriented, have excellent public speaking skills, and an interest in community development and environmental issues. |
