Marketing & Communications Internship

Join the Green Century Team

Green Century is the first family of fossil fuel free mutual funds in the U.S. that are environmentally friendly and diversified.

We offer shareholder advocacy internships to talented and motivated individuals each semester and over the summer.

For more than 30 years, Green Century has been the standard bearer of ethical investing, and because of our unique ownership by non-profits, no other fund can match our environmental and public health impact.

Green Century uses a unique three-pronged approach:

Green Century:

1. Invests in sustainable companies: Instead of investing in environmentally harmful companies, the Green Century Funds selects companies that meet our high environmental, social and governance performance criteria.
2. Leads an effective shareholder advocacy program: Our team of shareholder advocates directly presses nearly 100 companies every year to improve their corporate sustainability practices.
3. Supports environmental and public health nonprofit organizations: Green Century is the only mutual fund company in the U.S. wholly owned by environmental and public health nonprofit organizations, and 100% of the profits we earn managing the Green Century Funds can be used to support their critical work.
