We're currently recruiting bloggers for our brand-new local version of Worldchanging. These are selective opportunities and will require you to demonstrate that you follow the global conversation about sustainability and can discuss it intelligently, with careful attention to keeping your facts straight. We're looking for writers who are passionate about solutions: We focus on the positive and don't offer much space to rants or negative reviews.
Bloggers should be willing to commit to posting on a regular schedule (we're flexible, but we require some accountability). To thank you for your contribution and help fuel the fires of inspiration, we'll be hosting a series of bloggers-only networking events, field trips and other interesting perks to keep you on the cutting edge of the sustainability debate.
Want to join the Worldchanging Team? Contact Julia Steinberger, Managing Editor for more information: julia *at* worldchanging.com
Hey you! Passionate about sustainability and social innovation? Want to work on the frontiers of journalism and new media? Worldchanging is looking for a few bright, creative and exceptionally motivated interns to help us launch several big projects now in the works.
We expect interns to commit to a minimum of 20 hours/week for at least 10 weeks, and to display professionalism in meeting that commitment. You'll need to work at least half time on-site in our cool, funky, Seattle loft office. Most importantly, you'll need a passion for thinking about solutions to the planet's most pressing problems: if you have that, this gig will be exciting, challenging and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work on the cutting edge of sustainability.
These positions, though no doubt rewarding on other levels, are unpaid. We can, however, offer incredible exposure, access to great thinkers, invitations to cool events, and, occasionally, a free lunch.
Are you the right person for the job? Tell us why by submitting the appropriate materials (details below), no later than 5:00 pm PST, June 10. And the sooner, the better: applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
We're equal opportunity around here, and welcome applications from women and cultural, ethnic and sexual minorities.
Creative Media Intern
You're a confident, creative, experienced art-maker to spend the summer photographing, illustrating and otherwise art-ifying for our our website. Basic computer skills and access to your own image editing software are a must. Your own photography equipment is a plus.

To apply: Please send your cover letter, resume and 5-8 best samples of your work to Julia Steinberger, Managing Editor, at julia *at* worldchanging.com.
Editorial Intern (2-3 positions available)
You're a bold, bright, optimistic information-seeker who loves to be the first to share new solutions. The work itself will be a mix of editorial research and project organization.
