For the fourth year in a row, the EarthLab Summer Internship Program invites you to join a community of students working toward an equitable and sustainable future! Designed to support the next generation of imaginative and resourceful leaders, our program offers undergraduate students at the University of Washington the chance to build skills in interdisciplinary and community-engaged work at the intersection of climate change and social justice.
This isn’t your typical internship. It’s a 9-week opportunity to collaborate with EarthLab and its partnering organizations on applied research and projects addressing pressing environmental and societal challenges. Through a dynamic cohort model, interns will:
- Participate in weekly activities fostering peer learning, career development, and discussions on environmental and climate justice.
- Receive dedicated mentorship from site supervisors and EarthLab staff.
- Present their experiences at a final showcase event open to colleagues, friends, and family.
Key Program Benefits & Details:
- Paid Stipend: All interns will receive a paid hourly stipend and a one-time $180 commuting stipend, which can be used to activate a UPass for summer quarter.
- Cohort Model: Connect, share meals, and learn from other students from different majors and lived experiences for four hours every week.
- Career Development: Participate in weekly cohort activities, including training sessions, discussions on climate change and social justice, and networking opportunities.
- Eligibility: This program is open to all currently enrolled UW undergraduate students (as of Spring Quarter 2025) from any discipline across the UW tri-campus.
Recordings of information sessions will be posted on our website.
Applications are due by 5 p.m. PT on February 6, 2025.
