EAN Summer Internship

Energy Action Network (EAN) is dedicated to producing the highest quality research and analysis on a wide range of issues related to meeting Vermont’s energy and climate commitments. The EAN summer internship program began in the summer of 2020, lead by EAN Senior Fellow Christine Donovan.  The program was designed for college and graduate-school students excited by EAN’s mission of achieving Vermont’s climate and energy commitments in ways that create a more just, thriving, and sustainable future for Vermonters. Each intern develops and carries out a defined research, writing, and/or social media project directly related to the ongoing work of EAN. You will find each completed project and associated intern profile below.
