Do you have a passion for the environment?  Love spending time outside?  Enjoy telling your friends about your adventures?  Are you looking for a way to make a difference?  Do you want to have theBest Internship on Earth?
 
This summer, we’re pulling back the curtain and making it possible for TWO young adults to spend the summer enjoying, exploring, and protecting!  From historic climate rallies to high-adrenaline outdoors adventures; from student leadership gatherings to celebrity experiences in nature, two outdoor enthusiasts will get VIP access to go inside America’s most effective grassroots environmental organization.
 
The Best Interns will travel around the country with the Sierra Club’s activist and outings programs, and video blog those experiences for the Sierra Club!  The 2013 itinerary will be shaped by your interests.  Previous intern destinations and activities included surveying ancient artifacts on an archeological dig during a service trip in Utah; attending a family event sponsored by Military Families and Veterans Initiative; lobbying in Washington DC; backpacking in Southern California in the San Jacinto Mountains with Inner City Outings; marching in the Puerto Rican Day Parade; and outdoor leadership training with the Sierra Student Coalition. 
 
Whether you want to be the next Jeff Probst or the next Quentin Tarantino, we’ve got a place for you to get valuable professional development this summer.  One intern will remain behind the camera, operate the equipment and capture the excitement, action and joy into edited segments.  The other intern will be our on screen talent, taking the viewer along on the journey.  Together, with guidance from Sierra Club’s communications team, the interns will work together to tell the most compelling stories.  And have loads of fun!

After you submit, don’t forget to share your application with your friends and family - Ask them to leave comments under the video on your Sierra Club application page.  The top 5 videos with the most comments will receive a Sierra Club swag bag with a surprise from The North Face!
