BlueMap is a start-up environmental consulting and eco-software company located in San Francisco. We specialize in creating innovative environmental and social impact strategies for our clients. However, of equal importance, we understand the business case for sustainability.

As our main deliverable, BlueMap works with clients to lower their environmental impact while saving them money. Our interns research various consumer products and environmental solutions to assess the environmental impact and cost savings for our clients. BlueMap uses this data to help our clients understand how their facilities, offices, and operations impact our planet, along with how they can be more eco-friendly and lower costs. We are seeking a team of bright, ambitious, eco-conscious students to help us drive the research, client support, and public relations tactics.

RESPONSIBILITIES
Although this is a unpaid internship, the opportunity for students is extremely rewarding. By joining the BlueMap team, you will be directly involved in not only the actual research but also with outlining our overall business strategy. You will be asked to write articles for online publication, current and prospective clients, and various media outlets. We are looking for a creative thinker whose writing skills can range from writing eco-friendly product reviews to ecobusiness case studies, to eco-topic analysis. As a start-up company, we encourage innovative strategies and plan to really exercise your communications skills and marketing interests!

QUALIFICATIONS
Our ideal intern would be a full or part-time college or graduate student, with an interest in business communications, marketing, and the environment. We are breaking new ground with this research, so there is no one set of experiences that we demand to see in a candidate. This position will require high quality of writing and familiarity with public relations; but a team player with positive attitude, intelligence, creativity, and a willingness to learn and grow is what is most important. We will gladly teach you the rest!

WORK SCHEDULE
When working with students, we understand school comes first. We are willing to work around your schedule. We'd like someone that is able to make a rough commitment of at least 2 days per week in our office for 3-5 hours per day. Our office is laid back and in the Portrero Hill area; at 18th and Alabama St., a few blocks from the 16th and Mission BART station.

TO APPLY: Please send us your resume, a brief cover letter explaining why this internship interests you, and two writing samples. Direct responses to info[at]bluemapinc.com.
