Job Title: Outdoors for All Intern
Department: Program Department
Location: Washington, DC preferred
Reports to: Outdoors for All Director
Duration: 15 hours/week for 6 months

Context: At the Sierra Club, we believe in the power of interdependence. Together, we remain committed to the fight for a healthy climate built on a foundation of environmental, racial, economic, and gender justice – a future where all people benefit from a healthy, thriving planet and a direct connection to nature. As the climate crisis and deeply entrenched systemic racism all fuel injustice, we will continue to fight for a bold, transformational agenda that recognizes the interconnectedness between our planet, our humanity, and our future. By recognizing that our destinies are tied, we continue to name that all things are fundamentally connected, and the overlap between ecology, race, gender, and representative government will move to either advance our collective humanity or to oppress it. Sierra Club has close to 800 staff across the country and a network of 64 local chapters that are led and fueled by thousands of volunteers. We are also proud to be a unionized employer, with three labor unions representing more than half of our employees.

Scope: Sierra Club’s Outdoors for All campaign seeks to advance a just, equitable and inclusive movement that ensures access to the outdoors for all people. The campaign advances opportunities for communities to experience the outdoors and advocate for outdoor access and equity through a variety of national and field initiatives. Programs and initiatives include Military Outdoors, One Million Kids Outdoors, Nearby Nature and Parks for People. The Outdoors for All Intern will support the campaign’s story-telling efforts. The intern may have opportunities to attend and help document events and activities to help uplift the impact of the campaign.
