> *Work for a green future: Apply to be an Environment America fellow *
>
> Each year, Environment America hires recent college graduates with the 
> passion, the commitment and the talent it takes to stand up to 
> polluters, organize public support and fight for our environmental values.
>
> *Environment America*
>
> Environment America works to advance the environmental vision and 
> values we share---clean energy, clean water, wilderness and wildlife 
> protection, healthy food and sustainable agriculture, and more. With 
> nearly 100 professional staff, more than 1 million members, activists 
> and allies and affiliates in 29 states, we organize the support it 
> takes to stand up to polluting industries and ultimately sweep past 
> them.  The results of our work include more solar and wind power in 22 
> states, caps on global warming pollution in six states and a regional 
> cap on global warming pollution from power plants in 10 states, bans 
> on plastic bags in more than 50 cities, better-protected parks, and 
> stronger protections for our waterways.
>
> Today, we face many environmental problems. Temperatures are soaring, 
> forests are burning, and sea levels are rising. Factory farms and 
> other polluters have created massive biological dead zones in the Gulf 
> of Mexico and the Chesapeake Bay. Mining, logging, budget cuts and 
> other threats plague our national and state parks.
>
> Fighting for the environment is the challenge of a lifetime. You need 
> to start somewhere. But where?
>
> *Environment America fellows*
>
> As an Environment America fellow, you'll get 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. The work you'll do will matter, and be essential to our 
> success from day one.
>
> *Learn by doing*
>
> Working with our senior staff, you'll plan and run grassroots 
> campaigns, lobby lawmakers, publish op-eds, set up and speak at news 
> conferences, organize town hall meetings, run citizen outreach 
> campaigns, identify new members, raise money, recruit and manage staff 
> and much more.
>
> *Gain the experience you need to lead*
>
> After two years, you'll have participated in a rigorous training, 
> gained invaluable hands-on experience, taken on more responsibility 
> than you thought possible, and made a difference on issues that matter 
> day-in and day-out. And, best of all, you'll be ready to become a lead 
> advocate, a lead organizer or a state director with Environment 
> America or one of our state affiliates. You might even start a new 
> state affiliate or launch a new program.
