Become an Environment America Fellow: Fight for a green future. Learn what it takes to win.


My name is Joanna Diamond, Director of Environment Maryland, based in Baltimore.  Environment America a federation of 29 state based, environmental advocacy groups, including Environment Maryland.  We’re about clean energy, clean air, clean water, and protecting open spaces – right now our top priority is doing our part to stop global warming. And, we’re hiring across the country!
To learn more and apply, visit jobs.environmentamerica.org. Our early application deadline is Sunday, February 16th.

With nearly 100 professional staff and more than 1 million members, activists and allies across the country, we’re looking to grow our network.
Each year, we hire graduating seniors with the passion, the commitment and the talent it takes to stand up to polluting industries, fight for a green future and do what it takes to win.
Our Fellowship Program is a two-year crash course in the nuts and bolts of environmental activism, organizing, advocacy and the type of institution-building that can sustain long-term battles.  

As a fellow, you’re not just learning how to make an impact; you’re making one. If you want to hear more straight from our current fellows, we put together a short video for you. You’ll find it on our website here.

After two years as a fellow, you’ll have learned the ropes, gained invaluable hands-on experience and you’ll have made a real difference for the environment.  Hear from two former fellows about the work they're doing now to fight fracking here.
To learn more and apply, visit jobs.environmentamerica.org. Our early application deadline is Sunday, February 16th.
And if you’re not graduating this year, you should apply to be an Environment America intern – you’ll learn how to make an impact on critical environmental issues, and there’s no better way to get the experience to launch your career with us.
I look forward to hearing from you!
