The Center for Environmental Health needs your help. As a small non-profit organization, CEH is looking for assistance in our mission to reduce toxic chemical exposures to the public. CEH gives its interns a high level of responsibility and recognizes that the rewards of working for a non-profit organization are the experience and challenge of being an active participant. 

Some examples of the help we need:

• Researching corporate practices and possible health hazards. This might include searching the Web, tracking down articles, or contacting public interest groups and scientists.

• Networking, assisting with correspondence, following up on contacts, and contacting our supporters.

• Writing press releases and/or educational documents.

• Helping to manage all day-to-day affairs at the CEH office, such as answering phones, sending mailings, general administration, and filing.

We frequently rely on the help of interns to support:

• Our Executive Director and his assistant

• Our Public Policy Program

• Our Public Interest Litigation Program

• Our Pollution Prevention Program

• Our Communications and Development efforts
  

We are a small diverse group with a big mission. We need your help. You may be able to receive academic credit for your work at CEH. The schedule is often flexible, but we are looking for interns who are able to devote at least 10 hours per week.  The internship is unpaid, but it is accompanied by a stipend to offset transportation expenses.

Please apply as soon as possible.  To apply send a resume, cover letter, short writing sample (2 pages max), and the names and phone numbers of three references.  Submit to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or mail to: CEH, 528 61st Street Suite A, Oakland, CA 94609.  We prefer email.  Please type "fall internship" in the subject line of your email or on your envelope.  After November 1, 2007 please call before applying.
