The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is the nation's most effective environmental action organization. We use law, science and the support of 3.1 million members and online activists to protect the planet's wildlife and wild places and to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all living things. NRDC was founded in 1970 and our staff helped write some of America's bedrock environmental laws, including the Clean Water Act, and many of the implementing regulations; our water enforcement cases played a major role shaping current water policy throughout the country. Today, our staff of more than 500 lawyers, scientists, economists, policy and communications experts, and others, work out of offices in New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Bozeman, Montana and Beijing.
NRDC is seeking an intern to work with the Membership Department team in our New York office. The intern will assist the Membership department in answering email and phone inquiries from NRDC members and the public regarding NRDC programs and general environmental questions. This position will involve regular interaction with our supporters and provide an opportunity to learn more about the issues affecting our planet. The internship will focus on communicating and learning about these topics, but will include other, general membership tasks as required. This is a six-month paid internship requiring residency in the NYC area.
