Communications and Media Internship

Many of the consumer products we use every day contain toxic chemicals that can cause adverse health effects. These chemicals leach out of products and get into our air, water, food, and bodies. Yet, it’s completely legal for companies and manufactures to continue using these chemicals in everyday consumer products and in our food. Join us as we work towards real solutions for a toxic-free future.

• Writing material for use on WTC's website, social media sites, and blogs.

Tracking and building WTC's Twitter followers and Facebook fans, generating educational materials and supporting our campaign team as needed.

Qualified Candidates:
Should be self motivated and responsible, enjoy writing, have strong communication skills and be passionate about creating a healthier planet free of toxic chemicals. We encourage candidates from all academic backgrounds to apply for this position.
