Clean Cities Accelerate Internship

Jackson, WY | Summer 2026

The Clean Cities and Communities Accelerate program gives students studying a range of subjects the opportunity to grow public awareness and expand the markets of energy efficient fuels, technologies, and practices.

Who Should Apply

Given the grassroots, localized nature of the coalitions, Clean Cities and Communities interns are involved in a range of activities. Coalitions are encouraged to leverage interns’ skills and interests, and interns gain a wide range of tangible experiences, from cultivating professional development skills in writing or public speaking to honing technical skills such as data analysis and research. Interns also frequently engage in event planning, communications work, and content creation. Additionally, the program facilitates peer exchange and hosts webinars on professional development and technical areas of interest.
