Are you concerned about climate change? Do you want to see our government
take action? Join the “Put a Price on It” campaign and help put a price on carbon. Put a Price on It mobilizes young people in education and civic engagement to pass fair and effective climate policy at the state and national levels. By putting a price on carbon, we will hold polluters accountable and transition our economy to a clean energy future. Fellows will train and organize other students, rallying public support for carbon
pricing policy, and engage directly with elected officials. Applications are currently being accepted for our Summer 2017, Fall 2017, and Spring 2018 fellowship positions.

Description:
Fellows will work closely with Our Climate and Citizens’ Climate Lobby
staff to achieve mutually agreed upon goals. This educational and
supportive arrangement is designed to build a stronger and more diverse
coalition of leaders needed to pass fair and effective climate policy.
Fellows will be trained to conduct public outreach on the local, state, and
national level, including but not limited to:

– Seeking and securing campaign endorsements from businesses, cities,
colleges, organizations, and prominent individuals;
– Identifying and securing opportunities to attend and participate in
community events;
– Participating in phone banks, door-to-door canvasses, and other
list-building activities;
– Writing and submitting media materials, including letters to the
editor, op-eds, and press releases;
– Helping to organize informational and community-building events
(concerts, house parties, forums, etc.).

Additionally, fellows will be encouraged to actively participate in team
decisions around strategy, effective messaging, targeted outreach, and
more. Fall and Spring fellows will work on similar activities but with a
stronger focus on the campus community. Compensation is available on a
competitive basis for the Fall and Spring fellowships. Academic credit
could be granted depending on school policy. Locations:
Summer Fellowship positions can be based remotely. We have staff in
Portland, OR; New York, NY; Fairfield, IA; Philadelphia, PA; and
Washington, DC.The Fall and Spring Fellowship will be based on your campus.
