Program Volunteers

Take direct action for Clean Air Council such as writing Letters to the Editor, recruiting for events, collecting petitions, testifying to elected officials or agencies, attending an in-person grassroots event, or contributing their specific professional skill-sets to our work pro-bono (such as engineering). 

Clean Air Council’s “Neighborhood Groups”

These local neighborhood groups support the Council’s efforts to advance local environmental policy, fight pipeline and fracking infrastructure, and create local support. Most of these Neighborhood Groups groups are based in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

For example, residents of Mon Valley communities near the US Steel facilities have banded together with support from the Clean Air Council and allies to form the grassroots community organization Valley Clean Air Now (VCAN). Learn more here. 

Contact Matt Walker mwalker@cleanair.org to connect with your Southwestern Pennsylvania Neighborhood group. 

Attorney Volunteers

Legal attorneys who volunteer their time to the Council on court cases are critical to the Council’s work. We would not be able to handle the abundant legal cases we take without volunteer attorneys.

Interns

We offer internships for undergraduate, graduate and law students over the summer and during academic semesters. While these internships are unpaid, interns may be eligible for work study programs, external funding, or academic credit. Temple Law students interested in interning during the academic year for credit should look for the Council’s practicum announcement, which is shared by the school each semester.
