College Internships
+ Mentorships
“Interning for Rising Earth transformed what I look for in an internship and set the stage for what I hope to find in a career. As a Geography and Environmental Studies major, Rising Earth showed me that it is possible to work on environmentalism through creative thinking. As a part of a small team of entrepreneurs, I had a front-row seat watching how an innovative idea becomes reality. Rising Earth taught me the value of thinking originally at work to make change in the world.”
We offer part-time internships/mentorships in our production, curriculum, marketing, and development divisions. Open to college students in Los Angeles and New York, this is for those interested in exploring their own human impact and who want to help bring awareness and action towards the regeneration of our earth. From supervising content creation with youth to spearheading programming and marketing initiatives to participating in mentorship meetings with our Board Members, our college interns experience exceptional career development while building worthwhile skills and professional relationships. Applicants who are selected to participate in this rewarding yet rigorous experience receive either a stipend, academic credit, or commission depending on school requirements and the internship position.
At the conclusion of the program, interns can apply to continue in their position. Alumni interns can also participate in the Rising Earth Youth Advisory Board.
Please inquire to see which positions are available!
“The organization promotes personal growth through self exploration, human impact awareness, and an amazingly supportive team system. I truly have not had an internship like this one before because not only were my ideas asked for and explored, but many were actually put into use in the program … I would be so excited to see our educational system move toward something that resembles what Rising Earth creates because it not only increases students awareness of our planet, which is currently insufficient, but it also increases these kids’ confidence in themselves and their ability to imagine solutions. I am so proud to have been a part of this team.”
