Gain Skills and Help Save the Planet: Environment Maryland Internships

Internships with Meaning

We all care deeply about our environment. We also know that we need to be taking more action to ensure that our environment is preserved, especially when powerful interests stand in the way.

Environment Maryland, a non-profit, citizen-based environmental group, acts as a strong advocate on a broad range environmental issues, including promoting clean energy, protecting our open spaces, restoring the Chesapeake Bay, and advancing global warming solutions. We speak out and take action at the local, state, and national levels to protect our precious natural resources.

Our approach works. We have been a part of many important victories for the environment. We were the lead lobbying group to pass legislation that includes the nation’s strongest law to reduce pollution from power plants, a bill that requires new cars and trucks to emit less pollution, and legislation to require developers to do all they can to minimize runoff pollution that goes into the Chesapeake Bay. We are involved in efforts to protect Maryland’s most valuable natural areas and to capitalize on the enormous potential to revitalize the economy and protect the environment at the same time through the creation of thousands of green jobs.

Internship Description
Internships with Environment Maryland offer students a unique, mentored experience. Interns work one-on-one with Environment Maryland’s advocates and campaign organizers. Interns acquire the basic skills to analyze issues and put together solutions to problems that threaten our environment. Interns learn that activism and participation in the democratic process yield results. Though responsibilities vary, most internships include the following:

• Conduct research into critical environmental problems and prepare fact sheets for wide scale distribution.
• Assist in the preparation of media events.
• Attend meetings with lawmakers and state agency staff.
• Reach out to businesses and organizations to get them to work in partnership with us.
• Mobilize our grassroots base to impact upcoming policy decisions.

Although Environment Maryland internships are unpaid, students may receive academic credit from their college or university.

Qualifications
• A strong commitment to Environment Maryland’s issues.
• Strong writing and analytical skills.
• The ability to debate and speak persuasively.
• An enthusiasm for the work.

How to Apply
Interested students should submit a letter of interest and resume to Ewa Krason at EKrason@EnvironmentMaryland.org. The letter should describe your primary interests in an internship, how this fits into your career objectives, and your availability in terms of dates and hours.

Harbor Magic — positions open

2010-08-03T08:39:00.001-05:00

BALTIMORE
Baltimore is a rare destination that combines big city buzz with small town charm. The glistening Inner Harbor offers many choices from waterfront adventures, world-class attractions and culinary discoveries to history, shopping, and nightlife …and Harbor Magic is your connection to it all.

From exclusive benefits at the attractions to the best seats in town, Harbor Magic delivers a memorable Baltimore experience.
Harbor Magic is Your Connection to the Best of Baltimore

HARBOR MAGIC HOTELS
Harbor Magic consists of three unique hotels conveniently located in Baltimore’s famous Inner Harbor. The Pier 5 Hotel is Baltimore’s premier waterfront boutique hotel delivering harbor views, unrivaled dining options and an exclusive guest experience directly adjacent to the National Aquarium. The Brookshire Suites offers the best value in Baltimore with suite-accommodations, a fantastic breakfast, evening reception with complimentary open bar, 24-hour access to The Cloud Club and the Inner Harbor right outside the hotel’s front door. The historic Admiral Fell Inn invites you to celebrate the past and present of charming Fell’s Point while perfectly blending an authentic, residential-style destination experience with all of the conveniences expected by today’s traveler.

Each Harbor Magic Hotel is delightfully different, but all three are centered on connecting YOU to the Best of Baltimore.

HARBOR MAGIC SPECIALIST
The Harbor Magic Specialist position is part customer service, part marketing and part sales.

PRE-ARRIVAL CALLS
The largest duty for the Harbor Magic Specialist is what we call the pre-arrival call. Throughout the reservation process, guests have the opportunity to schedule a time to talk to guests prior to their arrival to Baltimore. These are guests who already have an upcoming reservation but need help planning their trip to Baltimore.

The role of the Harbor Magic Specialist on these calls is any combination of the following:
- Provide information on their upcoming stay and help build anticipation
- Inform the guests of activities and events going on in the hotel during their stay
- Upsell their experience – perhaps onto a higher-priced room type or an experience package
- Upsell a la carte experiences – wine celler dinners, Oriole park tours, rose pedal turn downs etc
- Connect the guest to the Best of Baltimore. At Harbor Magic, we have connections throughout the city. So if a guest says they are looking to experience steamed crabs, the Harbor Magic Specialist’s job is to coordinate the guest ‘s experience at our steamed crab connection.

The key to the call is not to sell what we want to sell, but rather, to connect with the guest, learn what they like and want and then sell them something that will help them achieve that.

NEW CUSTOMER OUTBOUND CALLS
The Harbor Magic Specialist is also responsible for finding new customers and following up on “leads” People request Destination Guides on harbormagic.com. People sign up for the Harbor Magic Club. People leave comments on Facebook about wanting to come to Baltimore. These are all leads – people who have expressed an interest in a trip. The Harbor Magic Specialist’s role is to follow up with these people and help them make a reservation.

SOCIAL MEDIA
Harbor Magic has a presence on facebook, twitter, youtube and flickr, as well as its own blog www.travelguidebaltimore.com. Content for these channels will be produced in conjunction with the marketing team, but the Harbor Magic Specialist will be responsible for:
- The actual posting and sharing of the content on the various channels
- The monitoring of each Harbor Magic channel for user comments, opportunities… and replying t o those comments
- The monitoring of targeted key words throughout all social media channels, blogs etc and identifying opportunities and generating leads

Baltimore Sun—copy editing

2009-09-16T21:49:00.000-05:00

Copy editing internships
Academic interns on the sports copy desk learn how to edit stories for clarity, coherence, logic, factual accuracy, fairness, style, usage, grammar and spelling by working alongside the sports night content editor, who serves as the internship supervisor. Interns also learn to trim stories to fit the news hole; to write headlines and captions; to compile game roundups and agate packages from wire services; and to cross-check copy on page proofs.

Much of their night, especially early in the internship, is spent observing. They get to cut their teeth on anywhere from two to four files a night – usually short wire stories. The night content editor then goes over their work with them, redoing the headlines and captions as appropriate and reviewing all the editing changes. This is a much more time-consuming process than having a staff copy editor work the file.

Interns also learn to put together agate files by working with our editorial assistant, and – now that we work across multiple editing platforms – they’ll be exposed to our procedures for posting content online.

Additionally, interns scan page proofs to catch mistakes and offer suggestions for improved display type, but theirs are never the only eyes on a proof. As a teaching tool, the night content editor shows the intern what he and other copy editors spot on duplicate proofs of the same pages.

Each night ends with a short feedback session. As an extension of this, the sports night content editor writes mid-term and final evaluations for the intern and discusses them with the intern along with providing appropriate career counseling.

The sports copy desk has used internships intermittently for the past three years. The program has given us exposure to some of the most highly recommended students at local colleges, which in several cases led to paid work in the newsroom and at “b.” Equally important, the program enables students to apply classroom knowledge in a real-world setting (in many cases at their hometown newspaper), to experience a professional work environment, and to discover whether this is a career they want to pursue.

Project Vote Smart: politics, advocacy

2009-03-10T07:22:00.000-05:00

Project Vote Smart is a national, non-partisan, non-profit political research library located in the Montana Rockies. The Project was founded by former US Presidents Carter and Ford, as well as 40 other prominent national leaders of both major political parties and funded by the Carnegie and Ford Foundations. The New York Times said that “Project Vote Smart is so good that even the Federal Government recommends it.”

We are currently accepting applications for our National Internship Program. This year we are excited to announce our new online application system where students can now submit their applications completely electronically, expediting the review and acceptance process! To apply online or to get more information about Project Vote Smart, please visit www.votesmart.org. I hope you will look over our website and forward our information to any interested students. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks to the generous support of our members across the country, we are once again able to offer the Barry Goldwater scholarship to all accepted students. This scholarship provides room and board for the duration of the student’s 10 week internship at our headquarters, the Great Divide Ranch in Montana.

Through our internships, your students will have a unique opportunity to be involved with the political process, while enjoying one of the most spectacular places on earth. Our internship will give your students the chance to provide millions of people with factual, unbiased information, as well as the opportunity to stroll around pristine lakes and rivers, hike throughout the Rocky Mountains, or ski some of the best slopes in the country. During an internship with Project Vote Smart, students will work hard and learn a great deal, all in an environment defined by its beautiful scenery and the commitment of its staff and interns.

Our internships, as with all the other areas of the organization, focus on the end product: providing voters with pertinent, factual information on presidential, congressional, gubernatorial, and state legislative candidates and elected officials. For students, this means a hands-on internship with significant opportunities for learning and growth. In fact, more than 90 percent of the information that Project Vote Smart provides is researched, entered, and checked by interns and volunteers. This system has been developed and cultivated specifically to ensure that interns are primarily responsible for the research; the few staff members are here simply to train and guide interns in what needs to be accomplished.

Radio/Production: Maryland Morning with Sheilah Kast

2008-08-28T06:42:00.002-05:00

Interns play a vital role in the show’s production, and have a unique opportunity to get “behind the scenes” of radio journalism. Interns handle both administrative and production duties. General office tasks may include making audio copies, photocopying, mail runs, and updating guest lists. As interns become more proficient in general responsibilities, other duties may include logging tape, learning digital editing, assisting with studio recordings, doing research for radio pieces and interviews, maintaining digital archives, and creating website updates. All interns are welcomed and encouraged to participate in planning meetings, where interview possibilities are discussed and most editorial decisions are made.

Internships are flexible, and can be adjusted to suit an individual’s needs. Interns can earn college credit, or volunteer their time in exchange for the opportunity to learn about public radio. The minimum time commitment for a fall internship is 10 hours/week; 15 hours/week is preferred. Interns may take two weeks off, with at least 2 weeks’ advanced notice to staff.

Some of the characteristics WYPR seeks in volunteers include: creativity, a willingness to learn, the ability to work with others in a professional environment, and a passion for public radio.

The Sun is seeking academic interns to work in its Sports department starting this fall. The interns must receive college credit; they will not be paid.

Though their work will be tied to the beginning of the high school sports seasons, interns could start in the latter part of August.

Though the length of shifts and exact times could vary, hours generally would be during 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. We don't anticipate having our interns doing any writing, except perhaps contributing to roundups compiled in the office.
