Communications Internship

Denver, CO

The Wilderness Society (TWS) recognizes the importance of nurturing a new generation of individuals who have a
commitment to environmental causes and a passion for wilderness preservation. Our Internship Program is
designed with that in mind. It provides rich, challenging learning opportunity for college students to work with
professionals in The Society and contribute their talents and ideas to a variety of programs. The program allows
interns to expand their knowledge of environmental issues, apply academic knowledge in a real life situation, and
learn new skills, which will enhance future career options.

The Wilderness Society is currently seeking a COMMUNICATIONS intern in our

Denver, CO office to support the BLM Action Center. This position will be unpaid
but may qualify for school credit.

The Wilderness Society offers communications interns hands-on opportunities to strategize with policy staff,
influence public opinion and protect America’s wild places. Our interns roll up their sleeves to research critical
environmental issues, craft press releases, prepare multi-media material for the web, author editorials and pitch
both bloggers and traditional journalists. Students looking to burnish their public relations, writing and journalism
skills will find our communications department to be a fast-paced, high-energy place where they can learn about
the environmental community and how The Wilderness Society works to protect the country’s most important
public lands and natural resources.

 This position is open for spring of 2011.

 Student is expected to commit to 20-25 hours per week.

 Student is expected to complete those hours within traditional work hours and will be provided desk
space in The Wilderness Society’s office.
