Internship Description
The Community Marketing Outreach Interns will help with the following:

Community Outreach: The interns will campaign to raise the visibility and awareness of recycling and the Recyclebank program. This may include planning and implementing targeted outreach events, door-to-door canvassing, speaking engagements and involvement with local “green” social-networking groups.  The intern will also be involved in grass-roots, community events (green, recycling, environmental, etc.) across the Greater Cleveland market.  This could include event planning, staffing, participation and media relations.  

Program Awareness, Participation and Registration:  In addition to the above outreach programs, the interns will be actively involved in increasing the participation and registration in the Republic/Allied Waste-Recyclebank program.  This will consist of traditional and non-traditional marketing activities to be determined before and during the internship period.  The interns could also engage and develop relationships with the local business community in our Local Rewards Partners program.

Hours
The start and end dates are flexible, but would like the internship to begin in May and work through August.  Interns typically work between 20-25 hours/week, and the level of commitment can be tailored to your schedule.

 

Qualifications
We are looking for people who are serious about saving the planet, have a desire to strengthen and grow the environmental movement, and have demonstrated leadership experience.  Must also have strong oral and written skills, be a self-starter and have phenomenal internet research and computer capabilities

Compensation
The internship will be paid at a rate of $0.25 per new Recyclebank member and an additional $0.25 if the new member adds Home Recycling to their account.  The interns will also be reimbursed for normal, approved business expenses.  Because anyone can join Recyclebank, the number of new members is virtually endless.  In the Greater Cleveland area there are approximately 30,000 members who are eligible for Home Recycling.

While this internship does not offer the opportunity to earn college credit, the intern will gain valuable life/business skills from environmental leaders and also make a huge impact in the “green” world.  Additionally, Recyclebank will provide each intern a letter of recommendation and Merit Certificate for their work.
