2005 summer fellowships for environmental work

The Environmental Careers Organization announces 2005 summer fellowships
offered through the Boston Environmental Justice Leadership Program

The Environmental Careers Organization (ECO) is soliciting applications
from current undergraduate and graduate students as well as recent
graduates for the 2005 summer Boston Environmental Justice Leadership
Program (BEJL). This year's program offers nine paid internships in
Boston-based environmental justice organizations. The BEJL Program
helps promote a greater understanding of environmental equality,
economic prosperity and equity for all people.

As part of the program, the fellows take part in several workshops that
have the following goals in mind:
- Understanding the history of the environmental justice movement and
how it pertains to Boston.
- An environmental justice tour of the neighborhoods affected by
environmental and public health problems
- Understanding the importance of diversity in the workforce and
developing their leadership potential
- Developing a joint project involving all the fellows in the BEJL
program that assists Boston area environmental justice organizations in
raising the awareness of the EJ issues that are affecting the population
of Boston.

The deadline for BEJL applications is Feb. 28, 2005.
