Description
The Institute for Environmental Solutions is an independent non-profit organization that engages stakeholders to deliver technically sound solutions to complex environmental and health problems – without unwanted side effects.

Initial intern appointments are part-time (15-20 hours/week) and unpaid. Successful interns may apply for paid positions after 150 hours. IES does not yet have a central office. Interns work independently, and participate in Institute and Project meetings in Denver. The mission of the Tree Project is to assess how trees can be used to achieve significant improvements to the environment. IES is implementing a pilot CEC project to evaluate the effectiveness of community education in preventing release of CECs into the environment.
Interns will support technical and program work in all phases of the current and upcoming projects, including technical research, statistical analysis, stakeholder meetings, project design, project implementation and analysis of results. We are looking for a graduate student intern to help with non-profit development (grant applications and fund raising) and business planning (strategic planning, marketing plan, analysis of needs and comparable organizations).
Environmental Project Interns are self-motivated, detail-oriented graduate students who think and work independently and creatively. Completed studies in technical / science areas such as environmental science, chemistry, biology, engineering, urban planning, health, and economics, and in non-profit management are strongly desired. Excellent writing, organizational, and presentation skills are required.
