About Native
Since 2000, Native has worked with clients to develop authentic solutions to their sustainability challenges and to implement community-scale projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen clients’ businesses, and contribute to progress on climate change around the world.

We construct unique project portfolios to meet climate goals, drive business value, and deliver tangible benefits to clients’ stakeholder communities – from customers and suppliers to employees and shareholders. Our methods enable companies to put their sustainability strategies into practice by investing in new climate action projects within their supply chain.

Native’s team of strategists, project developers, environmental scientists, engineers and legal counsel are devoted to strengthening the people, companies, and places at the heart of these initiatives, and we are seeking a communications intern to join our team for the summer.

• Support the writing and creation of content to communicate information on specific projects to the companies supporting those projects.
• Create written, video and image content for blog posts, website content, social media posts and other communications materials.
• Generate and share ideas for advancing Native’s communications goals and better serving the expectations of the companies supporting Native projects.

What you bring:

• An exacting attention to detail
• A proactive commitment to problem solving, taking initiative, and curiosity
• Ability to work productively both in a team and autonomously
