Green Corps Organizer Program - The Field School for Environmental Organizing

Green Corps is looking for college graduates who are ready to take on the biggest environmental challenges of our day.

Learn more and apply on our website!

The planet needs all the help it can get. To win now and build a strong foundation for lasting progress, we need people who know how to organize: to run organizations and campaigns that will inspire the support and action we need to save our environment. Our program starts with intensive classroom training. You learn about issues and campaigns, organizing theory and principles, and skills from recruiting volunteers to staging a media event. Then, you move to a more hands-on experience. You make a difference on important campaigns to transition our country to clean energy, protect wildlife, and more. For example, Lauren Karpinski, an organizer from the Green Corps Class of 2019, brought together a coalition of 40 groups that helped win a landmark solar energy bill in Arkansas.

We’re accepting the top 20 candidates for our 2026-2027 program. Graduates will join our more than 400 alumni who are leading environmental campaigns and organizations across the country. If you’re passionate about the environment and ready to learn and practice the craft of organizing after graduation, apply today ahead of our Spring deadline on February 28, 2026!

Not a graduating senior? Add your name to our list to receive updates about Green Corps including summer internships and jobs in the environmental and broader social change field!

Green Corps’ year-long program begins in August 2026 with introductory classroom training, and continues with field placements in multiple locations across the U.S. Candidates must be willing to relocate. Please contact Renee Wellman at renee@greencorps.org with additional questions.

Who: Participants must be 18+ older, fluent in English, identify as LGBTQ+, and had informal or formal involvement with both child welfare and juvenile justice as a child

What: Eligible participants will be interviewed on Zoom; the interviews are expected to last between 90 to 120 minutes. During these interviews, participants and the researcher will develop a visual roadmap of their childhood experiences with child welfare and juvenile justice and other key events and relationships. Participants in this study will also be asked about their childhood experiences with both systems and their experiences as an LGBTQ+ individual. Participants will be compensated $50 for their time.

This semester, a group in the School of Information is doing a pilot study involving the impacts of AI on nutrition knowledge and diet habits. In this pilot, you will just be asked to fill out a survey and do diet recalls with what you ate within the last 24 hours for up to 10 different days.

For each day you do the recall, you are entered into a raffle for one of three $50 Visa gift cards. But those that do all 10 diet recalls will be put into a separate raffle for a $100 Visa Gift Card.

If a good amount of individuals do sign up though, the research team will add more prizes.

If you are interested, you can complete the pre-screener sign up here: https://sfsu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9vtRemW8vEZ1Az4

Once you complete the screener above, you will be sent an email with your survey link, with a username and password to log your diet recalls.

(Also, all the data will be de-identified, but your student ID number is needed to pair your diet recalls to this initial screener.)

John Burton Advocates for Youth (JBAY) is proud to announce the launch of the John Burton Capital Fellowship, a groundbreaking partnership with Sacramento State University’s Center for California Studies. This new Fellowship offers current and former foster youth a unique, hands-on opportunity to shape state policy at the highest levels.

An expansion of Sacramento State’s nationally recognized Capital Fellows Programs, three John Burton Fellows will be placed in full-time, paid positions within California’s Legislative, Executive, or Judicial branches for 10–11 months. In addition to a monthly salary, Fellows earn a Graduate Certificate in Applied Policy and Government, receive medical, dental, and vision benefits, an $875 moving allowance, six graduate units, and student loan deferment. To ensure equitable participation, John Burton Fellows will also receive supplementary support from JBAY to cover financial gaps—such as housing, transportation, and professional attire.

“As a former foster youth myself, I know how transformative it is to be given a seat at the table where policy decisions are made,” said Sarah Pauter, Executive Director of JBAY. “These fellowships open doors for young people to influence the very systems that shaped their lives. It’s about rewriting what’s possible for foster youth across California.”

Applications are open through December 8, 2025. Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree by September 1, 2026, a minimum GPA of 2.5, and be at least 20 years old. Anyone who has spent at least one day in foster care is strongly encouraged to apply. To learn more or apply, click here.

CRG Student Grants Program

CRG welcomes proposals from both undergraduate and graduate students to support research or creative projects. Project topics should be consonant with CRG’s mandate to support critical student research on race, gender, and their intersections in a wide variety of social, cultural, and institutional contexts. Proposals that address both race and gender will be prioritized, and proposals that do not address race at all will be de-prioritized. Projects may be oriented toward academic research or may approach race and gender issues from the perspectives of the media, fine arts, and performing arts.

Grants are intended to fund students’ own independent research, rather than contributory research for a broader faculty project.  We encourage students to include a specific research question that they hope to answer in their proposals.  For creative projects, we ask students to include a thesis statement for their project and a critical race and/or gender analysis for why the project is important.  Strong proposals will include a critical race and/or gender analysis.  We recommend sending a draft of your proposal to your faculty mentor with enough time to incorporate their feedback.

FALL APPLICATION DEADLINE:  November 15, 5:00 pm PT
The fall application period opens in mid-September.
Funding decisions will be communicated by December 1.

The California State Assembly Internship Program offers students a unique opportunity to participate in and experience the work of a State Assembly Office. Applicants must commit to at least 10 hours per week between Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm.

Internship:
One of the most important roles of a district office is to keep the local community connected with the legislative work taking place in Sacramento. This is accomplished through community-based events, constituent casework, correspondence, and everyday involvement with the AD-18 community. As an intern, you will provide support to District and Capitol staff with special events, constituent services and inquiries, and special projects related to general administrative duties of the District office.

Qualifications/Essential Duties:
The ideal candidate must be currently enrolled or have graduated from an undergraduate or community college program; including rising High School juniors and seniors. The ideal candidate will have a major in Political Science, Journalism, History, International Relations, Public Policy, Economics, English, Communications, Public Relations, Legal Studies or another similar major; however, all majors are welcome to apply. Additionally, the following qualifications are critical:

Excellent written and oral communication skills

Strong organizational skills, attention to detail and ability to work with minimal
supervision

Critical thinking and creative problem solving

Ability to manage multiple tasks and competing deadlines simultaneously

Benefits:
Although unpaid, interns receive important and lasting benefits such as an extensive understanding of legislative processes, strengthened research skills, networking, and professional development gained by working directly with elected officials, community leaders, and local residents on issues and events related to AD-18 and the State of California. Staff plays an involved role in mentoring and supporting our interns pursuing careers in the public service sector. Interns have the opportunity to potentially earn a letter of recommendation from the Assemblymember and may also qualify for internship credit from their university or college.

Many legislators and senior policy staff began their careers by interning in a District office. It is an invaluable way of understanding California’s democratic process, as well as an excellent opportunity to make important contacts while serving the community.

Interns will gain valuable education and work experience by fully participating in agreed-upon work hours. All internship work is voluntary and students will not receive any monetary compensation. Interns are expected to not have any other government or public office internship at the same time.

Please complete the below application and submit all the required materials. Mailed or emailed applications will not be accepted. As space becomes available, qualified candidates will be invited for an interview. Thank you for your interest in this unique opportunity to serve AD-18.

INTERNSHIP STARTS ON SEPTEMBER 2025

Formed in 2016, Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) is a public Community Choice Energy service provider serving approximately 270,000 residential and commercial customer accounts in thirteen Santa Clara County communities. SVCE's mission is to provide customers with renewable and carbon-free electricity at competitive rates, and further accelerate decarbonization through deployment of innovative local programs. Key program areas include: building electrification, electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, battery storage and demand management programs. Since the organization's service launch in 2017, SVCE has provided clean to all residential and commercial energy customers in SVCE's member communities, carbon-free electricity. SVCE has saved its customers more than $90M and dedicated $84M to customer offers, programs and services. SVCE is a joint-powers agency governed by a Board of Directors comprised of an elected official from each of SVCE's thirteen member communities.

By providing reliable and responsive carbon-free electricity service at competitive rates, SVCE maintains a 96+% customer participation rate and a strong financial foundation. Access to carbon-free electricity has helped our communities take a major step in fighting climate change, reducing local emissions by more than 30% from a 2015 baseline. Yet supplying clean electricity is just the start. It is essential that SVCE continues to proactively engage with our customers and community stakeholders in the electrification journey - helping to inspire, educate, and enable action in transitioning from fossil fuels to clean electricity - in homes, buildings, and transportation.
The SVCE Culture
Achieving SVCE's ambitious and urgent mission requires a team capable of meeting the tremendous challenges embedded in these goals. SVCE develops and fosters a diverse and talented team that thrives in a dynamic and fast-changing environment. As such, at SVCE we recruit and retain smart, passionate, innovative, and collaborative employees.

SVCE employees encourage creativity and the free flow of ideas to spur innovation. The workplace environment is adaptable, and technology enabled to drive innovative solutions.

SVCE provides opportunities for growth, engagement, and support professional and personal development. SVCE offers opportunities that position their people, as well as SVCE, for success.

Berkeley Engineering Design Scholar Program Application is Live

# data[].attributes.body
The Berkeley Engineering Design Scholar Program is a 10-week summer research program open to all continuing UC Berkeley undergraduates in the College of Engineering or with relevant experience in design innovation. This program aims to increase diversity in the field of design and provide underrepresented students with research experience they may not have had otherwise. The Scholars actively contribute to the growing design ecosystem at UC Berkeley—participating in seminars, workshops, and special events with members of the design community, including their cohort of fellow undergraduate Design Scholars, graduate students, and faculty. In addition, they learn and practice critical skills of making through the Maker Pass program. Scholars also receive a $6,500 stipend. The per week commitment will fluctuate, but students should prepare to be able to commit at least 20 hours/week towards research.

During the program, each Scholar is matched with a faculty advisor based on their interests, and conducts faculty-guided research in areas such as Engineering Design, Design Methodology, Human Computer Interaction, and Data-driven Design. If there is mutual interest from both the Scholar and faculty advisor, they may have the option of continuing their research beyond the summer.

The program is led by Professor Kosa Goucher-Lambert (Mechanical Engineering), with additional mentorship and project supervision from Professor Hannah Stuart (Mechanical Engineering), and other UC Berkeley faculty.

We are offering the Berkeley Engineering Design Scholar Program as an in-person, on-campus experience in summer 2025, starting June 2nd and ending August 8th. For more information, please watch this recording of one of our information sessions that includes a previous alumni of the program.

Apply for the 2025 Berkeley Engineering Design Scholar Program by Friday, March 21st. Scholars will be matched with faculty mentors once they are accepted into the program.

To learn more about the program, please contact Janrey Javier (janreyjavier@berkeley.edu). Learn more about the Scholars from prior cohorts here.
