Summer Work/Training Opportunity

Here's another great opportunity to pursue this summer:

"If you are looking for summer jobs/ internships this summer working on
cutting edge local efforts to build a green economy and inspire
nationwide solutions to global warming and the energy crisis, please
join us this summer for the Summer of Solutions - www.summerofsolutions.org.

The Summer of Solutions is happening in 12 cities nationwide
(locations include Twin Cities MN, Michigan, Omaha NE, and St. Louis
MO as well as CA, MA, OR, TX, VT, WA) and runs for approximately 2
months in each location (dates vary based on program). Each program
will bring together a team of youth leaders from a wide range of
backgrounds and skill-sets to accelerate and launch new initiatives
around energy efficiency, community-based energy, sustainable food
production, sustainable urban design, and green industry by creating
innovative partnerships with existing local groups and structures for
action that can sustain themselves over time. The program fosters
community-based innovation, peer-to-peer learning, and participatory
leadership, and focuses on building a creative community that helps
participants:

1. build their own careers,

2. create models for community-based climate and energy solutions that
are replicable and inform effective regional and national solutions,
and

3. gain the skills to start new initiatives in their own communities.
Applicants and program planners work together to raise the funds to
cover their costs of living and provide a summer stipend for their
participation (or link with related jobs/ internships) - it's sort of
like collaborating with other youth leaders to create your own summer
job. Over the summer, we'll be building scalable and replicable models
for a green economy that can show decision-makers at all levels the
opportunity inherent in a green economy.

If you are looking to experiment and build your skills as a grassroots
innovator of the green economy leader, please apply to join us.
