The Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) offers exciting student volunteer internships throughout the year at DOE Headquarters (HQ) in Washington, D.C., and the Golden Field Office (GFO) in Golden, Colorado. EERE selects applicants based on availability and program office needs, and places candidates based on the best fit with program office requirements. Positions are limited and offered on a competitive basis. All applications are retained for one year from the application submission date. Examples of volunteer responsibilities may include, but not be limited to, the following assignments: gathering and analyzing data; participating in meetings and conferences; assisting with research projects; assisting staff members with program-related tasks; developing communication and outreach materials; assisting with Internet and web design/development. Volunteer internships provide students opportunities to complement their academic endeavors through direct experience with EERE in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy. For those students seeking future job opportunities with the federal government, this experience is invaluable in providing students with skills to effectively compete for positions. This internship program also provides potential opportunities to network with experts within the energy community on a local, national, and international level. In addition, some colleges and universities give academic credit for federal government internships.
