Transforming vision into reality has been Fresh Energy’s business from day one.

Under the supervision of our new managing director, the intern/s will develop a self-directed research and/or communications product in alignment with Fresh Energy policy priorities. In addition, duties will include general support and developmental activities common to learning about and contributing to the business setting of a nonprofit.
