Become a Social Amplifier in NYC
The Creative Climate Communications (C3) Lab is seeking nominations for our Social Amplifiers program, designed to empower individuals (18+) who have the potential to lead conversations and drive action on climate change—particularly those who may not yet see themselves as leaders. This Summer 2025 pilot program will provide participants with leadership training, a $200 stipend, and the opportunity to host climate-focused events in their communities. Selected individuals will engage in a two-day training, participate in Climate Week NYC 2025, and have their stories featured in a public exhibition.
We are looking for community-rooted individuals who inspire change, embrace new ideas, and champion practical climate solutions.
If you know someone in New York City who fits this description, nominate them today and help us elevate grassroots environmental justice efforts.
INTERNSHIPS
Grow as a Leader. Make a Difference.
Our internship program offers a dynamic, hands-on experience where you’ll play a key role in developing, managing, and evaluating our diverse programs.
We’re looking for dedicated individuals who can turn ideas into action. In return, we’ll help you achieve your personal goals while building your leadership potential.
You’ll thrive as a Crew member if you’re independent, organized, creative, and enjoy variety in your workday. If you're passionate about environmental and social justice and align with our mission, we’d love to have you on board.
We currently offer the following internships:
Global Leadership
Assist with our international exhibits and events by creating outreach materials, building strategic partnerships, planning and organizing events, and conducting research for proposal development.
Creative Communications
Support our outreach and communications efforts, helping to develop key marketing materials and campaigns. Experience with Canva and video editing is a plus.
Environmental Education
Help in researching and developing educational curricula and programs, coordinating workshops, and engaging in local community outreach.
NGO Management
Support grantwriting, sponsorship proposals, individual donor requests, supporting monitoring and evaluation tools, as well as earned income generation tools.
Become an Intern
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and strongly encourage BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and frontline community members to apply. Our internships offer a supportive environment for experimentation, learning, and growth.
Internships are unpaid and available both virtually and in-person (NYC and Marseille). While a minimum of 10 hours per week is required, preference is given to those committing 20+ hours and eligible for college or training credits. International applicants and professionals seeking to expand their skills are welcome.
Please apply at least one month before our start dates: January 10th, May 15th, and September 1st.
