On the Level Summer Internship
Who Are We?
On the Level (OTL) is a non-profit project* with a mission to grow and connect the climate community in order to demand meaningful systemic action. Founded in 2020 by a group of recent college graduates, On the Level maintains the largest database of American climate actions (anything from protests to letter-writing campaigns to joining an online group) ever compiled by using innovative software. Our work helps folks find climate movement actions that fit their location, availability, and interests with just a few clicks. In addition, we have weekly newsletters and a podcast series to keep our community members connected and informed. Learn more at https://www.beonthelevel.org.
Job Description:
We are looking for an individual who is passionate about confronting the climate crisis through collective action and is interested in trying out an array of skills within a small non-profit. While the internship is flexible and can reflect the selected intern’s interests, the array of duties would include:
- Gathering data on weekly batches of actions to update and maintain the Climate Action Explorer database
- Managing existing OTL social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) (and potentially creating an OTL TikTok account)
- Editing and producing the Climate Convos podcast
- Helping to design a framework to bring On the Level to college campuses
- Leading outreach between OTL and potential partner organizations across the country
- Analyzing climate action data
We are looking for applicants who have some experience with social media, data analysis, non-profit work, or the climate movement, who are excited to try new things, and who are comfortable working independently. We are a small, driven team excited to grow with the right candidate.
This position is remote and part-time (20hr/wk) for 10 weeks (early June through mid August).
