Climate Museum Spring 2020 Internships
The Climate Museum’s mission is to inspire action on the climate crisis with programming across the arts and sciences that deepens understanding, builds connections, and advances just solutions. More information on the programming we have presented over the past two years can be found on our website.
The Climate Museum provides a home for vibrant and robust engagement with the crisis, reaching many who otherwise may be left out of the conversation. The majority of people in the United States are worried about climate change but rarely even discuss it. Our vision is to extend the critical, transformative work being done by the youth and general climate movements, inviting the broader public into a new climate citizenship.
This internship represents an opportunity to play a generative role in a dynamic, young organization early in the process of scaling and developing a year-round location. The position would be based in our New York City office. Interns will carry out tasks in an intellectually vibrant and supportive environment.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis starting immediately. The final deadline for applications is Friday, December 27. Spring internships begin in January, the exact date is dependent on individual winter break schedules.
