Internships

CSCS is currently offering several internship positions! See below for details of these positions. All of our internships are paid positions.

Thanks to our past internship partners Everence, MCC Washington, MCC Ottawa and Eastern Mennonite University for helping us create a brighter future for our students, and for our planet!

Climate Advocacy Intern

The Climate Advocacy Internship is a part-time (30 hours/week) summer internship for students with an interest in Climate Action, Domestic Policy, and Advocacy. Students will engage in advocacy, organizing, and lobbying with Mennonite Central Committee U.S. National Peace & Justice Ministries, with a specific focus on mobilizing the Anabaptist community around climate issues. The Climate Advocacy Internship is typically based in Washington, D.C., and includes housing and a monthly stipend; however, fully virtual and hybrid work is possible. (In-person office work, policymaker meetings and working group meetings are all dependent upon the level of COVID-19 restrictions at the time of the internship.)

This is a contract position with a term length of 3 months over the summer of 2023.

Campus Climate Ambassadors

The Campus Climate Ambassadors program began in the Fall of 2018. It brings together students from Mennonite college campuses in the United States and Canada, and encourages them in their campus organizing work, offers training, and connection with other students from around the country. Cohorts start the year by attending a training session where they discussed climate communication, campus organizing, and the best way to connect their campuses together through a common passion for sustainability. The program is by recommendation only, so we don’t accept applications for the Ambassadors positions. This is a paid position. If you would like to know more about the Campus Climate Ambassadors program, or have any questions about their work, email Joseph Harder at joseph.harder@sustainableclimatesolutions.org.
