Student Fellow - Climate Solutions Student-Led National Coalition

Become a Student Climate Fellow. Change the Chamber*Lobby for Climate is a student-led coalition of student environmental groups and non-profit organizations working together to get the science-based legislation we urgently need for climate solutions. We are looking for students who are interested in a REMOTE national Fellow position. Depending on your background and skill set, we will find an appropriate role designed for your interests. This work could also feed into a course project, a thesis or independent study credits.

Background
Change the Chamber*Lobby for Climate is focused on climate change solutions and youth engagement. We are encouraging more corporations to stop obstructing and start supporting science-based climate policy. Corporations lobby governments through trade groups. These groups have blocked science-based legislation for 25 years. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a key obstructing trade group. Giant corporations are U.S. Chamber of Commerce members.. These companies are particularly sensitive to students (their future consumers and recruits). Building on an earlier successful campaign, this campaign is organizes a social media storm each week @ specific companies, calling them out on their destructive role in climate policy-making and pushing them to support necessary climate legislation. The campaign has reached over 100 million social media feeds, has sent over 2000 letters to corporate executives, and has been recognized by pro-climate solutions U.S. Senators, a variety of corporations and many news media outlets for its good work.

Fellow Responsibilities
Upon completing an internship or after volunteering for three months for at least a few hours each week successfully, the student will be able to list themselves as a Student Fellow for Change the Chamber*Lobby for Climate. The student would be responsible for some of the following, depending on their interests and skills. An active team from the coalition would help the student:

  • Design the graphics and/or the writing for social media posts related to these topics.

  • Learn from social media experts helping the coalition
