ICCR (Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility) is looking for
college/university undergraduate and graduate students with a passion for climate solutions. Student Fellows will research companies to help environmentally responsible shareholders in their crucial efforts to push companies to align corporate lobbying with the net-zero emission goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. In order to get the climate solutions we need, companies have to move forward quickly in their climate commitments and actions, and shareholders are key to making this happen.

Students would provide research for a new institutional investor campaign on corporate climate lobbying for ICCR, a global investor organization based in the U.S. founded to shape the corporate social responsibility movement. Company-level research is needed for shareholder conversations with companies and shareholder resolutions. Students will learn the importance of shareholder activism and documenting company progress. Students will be given the opportunity to work directly with ICCR program staff, to gain a better understanding of the issues and the field of
corporate social responsibility.

Student applicants are welcome from a wide range of academic programs and geographies. We want applicants to have strong time management skills and be proficient in Microsoft Word and have decent writing skills. (Proficiency in Excel is a bonus.) Applicants should be able to commit to 3-4 hours per week on average, with flexibility. Students need to commit for at least 1 month. Student Fellow positions are volunteer and unpaid.

Interested students should send the following to Rhonda Brauer at
rbrauer@iccr.org:

  • resume,
  • cover letter identifying your interest and strengths,
  • hours per week and number of weeks of availability
