Volunteer Positions

Senior Experience Internships

High school seniors deliver presentations to elementary students about sources of energy and energy conservation through an energy carnival program we have been delivering in Arlington schools since 2018. The presentations are in person at individual schools; a stipend for transportation will be provided if needed. We typically provide programs for 12 to 15 different elementary schools.

This position offers a great opportunity to engage young students in fun activities while learning about energy and the importance of reducing our consumption in order to reduce greenhouse gasses and help combat climate change. Training is provided. There are seven positions available.

Position Responsibilities:

• Publicize program availability to teachers and extended day staff.
• Confirm requests for presentations with all schools and finalize outreach calendar.
• Prepare and organize supplies for presentations.
• Deliver presentations to elementary audiences.
• Compile evaluation results.
• Document program accomplishments.

Qualifications

• Interest in environmental issues.
• Strong organization skills.
• Experience working with kids.
• Ability to conduct multiple tasks.

This position is 30 hours per week and lasts three to four wee between May and June. Schedule may depend on the individual high school’s Senior Experience guidelines.

To apply, email a cover letter and résumé to Kara Simon, Program Manager. Applications are due by May 10, 2024 (note that specific high school Senior Experience programs may have earlier application deadlines).
