Current Opportunities at The Environmental Center
Energize Bend Internship
Energize Bend is a Coalition of non-profits, businesses, and volunteers advocating for building electrification in Bend through community outreach, education, and policy. We envision a fully electrified Bend - where clean energy powers a local economy built on good jobs, energy resilience, and healthy, affordable homes for everyone.
Energize Bend is not an established 501(c)(3) and cannot directly hire or pay for positions. For this reason The Environmental Center will be supervising this role and administering payment.
