View:Environmental Conservation is an international issue
Posted By Sakshi Mohan - Sat, May 15 2010 at 9:01 AM ESTHi,
I am a student in the Middle East and would like to get involved in this programs. Are there any places open for non-US citizens?
any in asia?
Posted By melinda - Mon, May 03 2010 at 7:09 AM ESTis this only in the U.S. ? what about other parts of the world like asia.i think this is good if not only in the U.S. but world wide or globally. as we live in one planet called earth.
Don't work for free
Posted By Rachel - Mon, Mar 29 2010 at 2:34 AM ESTCompanies, newspapers, blogs and orgs need to stop luring in interns to work for free. If there is a job open and work needed to be done, MNN should pay. Simple as that. This is another step to lowering the bar so that bloggers don't get paid well. Don't do it. Thousands of other blogs will pay you to write for them.
Re: Don't work for free
Posted By The Staff of MNN - Mon, Mar 29 2010 at 10:58 AM ESTHI Rachel, its good to hear from you. While we do have a couple of full-time job openings on the site right now (and are interviewing away for them), our intern program is a volunteer position for readers who want to let us know of local happenings and insights from their home towns. The position usually takes 7 to 10 flexible hours a week and lets students and others spread the word.
I want to be involved
Posted By Anonymous - Fri, Jan 29 2010 at 3:39 PM ESTThis sounds great! I was wondering if we have to submit anything else besides a resume and a cover letter? Plus, is there a deadline?
Ambitious High School Sophomore
Posted By Amanda - Thu, Jan 07 2010 at 11:25 PM ESTI didn't see any age requirement. Is it possible for a high school student to apply for this internship?

I Wanna Get Involved
Posted By Akash Gupta - Sun, Dec 20 2009 at 2:24 AM ESTHello. I would like to become a correspondent and write articles to make a difference. I want to know if I can still apply and do this. I am very interested in environment and effects it has on health and other aspects of life. It appears there is already someone in my area, Louisville, who is a correspondent but I live in Oldham County, KY and still want to know if this is a possibility for me.
Thanks
All states open
Posted By The team at MNN - Fri, Mar 26 2010 at 10:51 AM ESTThere's no problem is there's already another correspondent in your state. States are big places :) and we're eager to have as much local reporting as possible. So please do apply!

Opportunities for Recent College Grads w/ BA in Environmental St
Posted By Brittni - Wed, Sep 16 2009 at 5:57 PM ESTHi!
This sounds like a great opportunity for students! However, what are some great opportunities for recent college grads with a degree in Environmental Studies? I graduated this past May and would love an opportunity to work with your organization in any capacity I can. I am in the Atlanta area.
hi
Posted By Anonymous - Fri, Jun 12 2009 at 10:17 AM ESTcan I still apply if I'm not majoring in journalism/environmental studies?
correspondents
Posted By Anonymous - Wed, Jun 03 2009 at 8:11 PM ESThow many interns are selected for each state? should we still apply even though there are already many correspondents?
Going to college?
Posted By Anonymous - Tue, Jun 02 2009 at 5:27 PM ESTCan we apply if we are still in high school, but will be attending college in the fall?
Anonymous - you're welcome to apply!
Posted By Hope Dlugozima - Wed, Jun 03 2009 at 12:04 PM ESTYou are welcome to apply anytime you like, even if you are in high school. You can send your resume and any information to contact@mnn.com.
Application
Posted By Anonymous - Mon, May 25 2009 at 6:15 PM ESTAlso, is it possible to update our applications with recent accomplishments? and is it alright to just submit a cover letter and resume? (I didn't know that we were supposed to submit additional clips as well.)
Application
Posted By Anonymous - Mon, May 25 2009 at 5:03 PM ESTDear MNN,
I applied for this internship a few months ago but have not heard back. Is there a specific time that I will hear back from you?
Thanks!
College Freshman
Posted By Nahal - Wed, May 20 2009 at 3:45 AM ESTHello, I will be attending an out of state school come the Fall, and therefore I was wondering if there were any internships purely offered during the Summer, or if I could shift the gears of my internship onto my campus during the school year.
Hi College Freshman
Posted By Hope Dlugozima - Wed, May 20 2009 at 10:14 AM ESTIn some cases, we do allow students to start reporting from one state & then move to another once they start/stop college. Write us at contact@mnn.com and we can get into the specifics with you.
Question!
Posted By Sidd Boddapati - Tue, May 05 2009 at 11:55 PM ESTI'm going to a technical college. I want to help. Is it too late to apply?!
All colleges are great...
Posted By Hope Dlugozima - Mon, May 11 2009 at 9:48 AM ESTIf you're a green-friendly person...and can write/video, then we'd love for you to apply.
A good fit?
Posted By J.B. - Mon, Apr 20 2009 at 3:15 AM ESTI'm a senior college student currently working as a field technician in wetlands research (through the EPA in a roundabout way), a few prairie chicken surveys for windfarm placement for energy companies, etc. I'm also a Wildlife Ecology major....I've noticed that there seems to be more preservation than conservation on the site, just wondering if I'd fit. Doesn't seem like there are many hunters/anglers on the site. What are MNN's stances on hunting, fishing, etc?
yes, we'd love to hear from you
Posted By Hope Dlugozima - Mon, Apr 20 2009 at 10:39 AM ESTHaving an intern who had worked in wetlands research would be ideal for us. And we're equally interested in preservation as well as conservation (and all aspects of the environment). Just sent your resume & cover letter to contact@mnn.com to be considered.
Intrested
Posted By Maaz Shah - Mon, Apr 13 2009 at 2:08 PM ESTHey, I was wondering about if there is any age or grade specified. If AA in Ca reads this, please email me back. I am very intrested.
Yes, please do apply!
Posted By Hope Dlugozima - Tue, Apr 14 2009 at 9:44 AM ESTWe're happy to receive applications from all and are willing to consider out-of-the-norm circumstances if your qualifications are good (i.e. maybe you're out of school for several quarters). Just send your clips & cover letter to contact@mnn.com. A note of advice, though: Be sure to spell words correctly when you send us your application. Can't help but notice that even in these casual notes....your words are your currency. :)
