Would you – or someone you know – like to learn about the legislative process, tracking issues related to climate change, land use (including Act 250, housing and transportation), environmental justice, clean water, forests and wildlife?
Vermont Natural Resources Council (VNRC), Vermont Conservation Voters (VCV) and the Vermont Planners Association (VPA) are seeking a paid Legislative Intern to help track forward-looking environmental legislation moving through the State House during the 2025 legislative session (January through May 2025).
Duties will include monitoring relevant State House hearings and reporting to VNRC, VCV and VPA staff on results of those hearings; tracking the movements of, and changes made to, specific bills that VNRC, VCV and VPA are following; possibly engaging with lawmakers; and additional tasks, as assigned, which could include conducting basic research, drafting bill summaries, and developing talking points or other documents for VNRC, VCV and VPA staff to use to advance our issues in the Legislature.
The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated interest in state-level policies and policy-making, strong oral and written communication skills, and be diplomatic, curious, and able to take initiative. The typical schedule for this position is Monday through Friday for a minimum of 32 hours per week. The Legislative Intern is expected to spend most of their time in person in Montpelier between the Vermont State House and the VNRC office. Compensation is $17.50 per hour, paid biweekly. The internship starts on January 6, 2025 and ends in mid-May.
