Who We Are
At MobilizeGreen, we are building the workforce of the future by connecting government agencies, corporations, and nonprofits with skilled, passionate individuals who are gaining the experience and training needed to lead and solve critical sustainability challenges.
We believe young people are essential to driving sustainability forward, creating solutions that benefit both people and the planet. As the demand for clean energy, conservation, and climate resilience grows, so does the need for skilled talent across all sectors.
Too often, aspiring leaders struggle to launch their green careers due to limited exposure, financial constraints, or a lack of professional networks. MobilizeGreen bridges this gap by providing internships, mentoring, and hands-on career experiences that equip students and emerging leaders with the skills, connections, and confidence to succeed.
Building a strong green economy means investing in emerging professionals from all backgrounds, ensuring they have access to the opportunities and experience needed to contribute to a more sustainable future. By supporting all early-career talent, we help prepare the next generation with the skills and pathways to drive sustainability forward.
What We Do
We equip young people with the skills, experience, and connections needed to launch successful careers in the green workforce—helping employers build a strong, diverse pipeline of sustainability talent.
Whether in-person or virtual, our paid internship opportunities and programs provide employers with early-career professionals who bring fresh perspectives and a passion for sustainability. These hands-on experiences prepare the next generation of leaders while allowing organizations to engage, mentor, and evaluate potential future hires.
We also offer conservation programs nationwide, giving high school students early exposure to green careers and real-world problem-solving opportunities—helping organizations build long-term interest in the sustainability workforce.
For those seeking structured career preparation, our pre-apprenticeship programs provide training, mentorship, and on-the-job experience that helps employers cultivate skilled, job-ready professionals. This program builds technical skills, industry knowledge, and connections, ensuring young talent is prepared to transition into full-time sustainability roles.
Beyond internships and pre-apprenticeships, we also help employers connect with diverse talent through conferences, career fairs, and networking events. By bridging the gap between emerging professionals and government agencies, corporations, nonprofits, and academic institutions, we help organizations identify and recruit the next generation of sustainability leaders.
Our Approach
Expose Youth to Nature
Youth who spend time outdoors are healthier and do better in school. MobilizeGreen exposes youth to nature to promote leadership, civic engagement, and connection to nature.
Get Work Done
Interns help complete mission-critical work. They also bring critical thinking skills and fresh perspectives to help organizations solve real world problems.
Provide Access
80% of jobs/internships are not widely advertised. We ensure that underrepresented young adults know about and have access to hands-on learning opportunities.
Recruit Qualified Talent
Whether recruiting STEM or other talent or providing talent engagement opportunities, MobilizeGreen provides tailored recruiting solutions for a range of employers.
Remove Barriers
Removing barriers to participation is critical in making sure that every one can benefit from career-enhancing internships, which have become the new entry-level job.
Build Our Workforce
Today's young people are tomorrow's workforce. Young people will drive the world's economic growth, and they must help solve environmental challenges.
Why Us?
Investing In Young People Makes Economic Sense:
Why Us?
Today’s students are tomorrow’s sustainability professionals. According to the Brookings Institution, Millennials, Gen Z, and younger generations now make up over half of the U.S. population, representing a massive talent pool that will shape the future of the green economy. By providing young people with hands-on experience through internships, pre-apprenticeships, and mentorship, we help employers develop job-ready professionals who bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to sustainability challenges.
A Greener Economy is a Stronger Economy
As demand for clean energy, climate resilience, and sustainable infrastructure grows, so does the need for a highly skilled workforce. Investing in green talent pipelines today ensures businesses and organizations can fill critical sustainability roles, drive innovation, and remain competitive in an economy that is rapidly transitioning toward greener, more sustainable solutions.
Expanding Access to Opportunity Fuels Innovation
A strong and future-ready workforce depends on ensuring that talent from all backgrounds has access to career pathways in sustainability. However, many aspiring professionals face barriers such as financial constraints, limited networks, or lack of industry exposure. Expanding access to opportunity allows employers to tap into a wider range of talent, strengthen their teams, and drive new ideas that help solve critical sustainability challenges.
Strengthening Reputation Through Sustainability Leadership
Companies and organizations that invest in green talent development establish themselves as leaders in sustainability and corporate responsibility. Providing internships and career programs for young professionals enhances employer branding, attracts top talent, and demonstrates a commitment to building a skilled and future-ready workforce. Aligning workforce strategies with sustainability goals not only future-proofs operations but also positions employers as innovators in a rapidly evolving green economy.
Collaboration Drives Impact
No single sector can tackle sustainability challenges alone. Public-private partnerships among businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits are essential to building a strong, adaptable green workforce. By working together, employers, educators, and workforce organizations can ensure that young professionals gain the skills, training, and opportunities needed to shape the future of sustainability and innovation.
Success Stories: Green Careers in Action
MobilizeGreen helps young professionals launch careers across the public, nonprofit, and private sectors by providing hands-on experience, mentorship, and career-building opportunities. Meet three alumni who turned their MobilizeGreen internships into full-time sustainability careers:
Nonprofit Sector: Mia – Driving Community-Based Sustainability:
Mia wanted to make a difference in her community but wasn’t sure where to start. She joined MobilizeGreen as an intern with an environmental nonprofit focused on urban sustainability. There, she gained experience in community-led conservation initiatives, environmental education, and policy advocacy. Now, as a Sustainability Program Coordinator, Mia works with local organizations to implement climate resilience projects, ensuring historically underserved communities have a voice in environmental decision-making.
“With MobilizeGreen, I gained the skills to create change. Now, I help communities build sustainability solutions”
Private Sector: Luis – Powering the Clean Energy Transition
Luis had a background in engineering but lacked direct experience in renewable energy. MobilizeGreen placed him in an internship with a leading clean energy company, where he worked on solar energy projects and sustainability analysis. The hands-on training and mentorship helped him transition into a full-time role as a Renewable Energy Analyst, where he now plays a key role in advancing the clean energy transition.
“My MobilizeGreen internship connected me to real-world clean energy work. Now, I’m driving sustainability forward.”
Public Sector: Jordan – Protecting Natural Resources:
Growing up in rural Georgia, Jordan always loved the outdoors but didn’t know how to turn that passion into a career. Through a MobilizeGreen internship with a federal land management agency, he worked on forest restoration and wildfire prevention projects, gaining valuable field experience. After completing his internship, Jordan secured a full-time position as a Natural Resources Specialist, where he now helps manage public lands and protect ecosystems for future generations.
“MobilizeGreen gave me the experience to launch my career. Now, I help protect natural resources.”
These are just a few of the many young professionals who have turned their MobilizeGreen experiences into meaningful sustainability careers. Whether in the public, nonprofit, or private sector, our programs help emerging leaders gain skills, build networks, and drive impact in the green workforce.
