WEC and WCV are hosting an Explore Careers in Nonprofits and Environmental Advocacy event THIS Thursday, April 16, from 3pm – 5pm. This event will be held  at 1402 3rd Ave Seattle, WA.

At this event you will learn about WEC and WCV, hear from staff on various teams about their roles at the organization, and be able to ask questions about what these jobs look like and what path people took to get there. It is a GREAT way to meet professionals working on environmental advocacy and better understand what working at a nonprofit entails.

Sierra Club’s Environmental Apprenticeship is a training program to cultivate future leaders in environmental advocacy. This program is designed for recent college graduates who are interested in legislation, media, and community outreach as a means of promoting green initiatives. Consider this your starting point for an environmental career course, helping you transition from your college experience into the non-profit working world.

An Apprenticeship is a full-time, 6 month paid staff position based in one of our offices around the country. Past work locations have included San Francisco, CA; Washington, DC; Minneapolis, MN; Chicago, IL; Los Angeles, CA, and Austin, TX. Location placements for the chosen 2012 Apprentices will be based on the Conservation Department’s campaign or program needs, as well as the chosen candidates’ individual experiences and skills. Location placements occur after all final Apprenticeship candidates have been chosen.
