Our newsletter that provides context for what's happening with the Department of the Interior and what is possible in a brighter future.
Next Interior Exploratory Committee: Do you want to help with not just the future of the US Department of the Interior, but of Next Interior by supporting governance? First, we need an Exploratory Committee to ensure that the ins-and-outs of establishing a nonprofit is the best path forward - or maybe there's some other business model. If you have experience, ideas, and passion that can be helpful, then please apply!
Next Interior Volunteers: Looking to put some of your free time to work on Next Interior's mission but maybe not sure how to exactly? Consider the Volunteers Program, where we'll get you lined up to help us advance the mission of Next Interior and provide guidance along the way. Apply here.

Next Interior Affiliates: Does your work - whether it's advocacy, research, communications, organizing, or something else - overlap with the mission and goals of Next Interior? Would you want to link the two together? The Affiliates Program could be an option, with you and Next Interior (and ultimately the Department) benefiting from the shared affiliation. Apply here.
Interior provides people access to nature and its resources, whether it's overlooking the Potomac River from the Appalachian Trail (top left [CC-BY J. Malcom]), the chance to play in the sands at White Sands National Monument (right [CC-BY J. Malcom]), to actions like restoring ecosystems that help ensure safe water supplies that people and wildlife depend on (River Bend Restoration Project; photo public domain by the Bureau of Reclamation). Getting involved with Next Interior will be a way to help with these and so much more.
Next Interior Fellows: Are you mid-career and looking to set up a project that advances both your interests and Next Interior's mission? With the Fellows Program, we will work together to set you up on a program that focuses on one or a few specific goals to be accomplished in your time, benefiting you and Next Interior. Apply here. (Coming soon)
Funders: Please consider how you could help us make the Fellows Program a paid program, which is an essential step for improving equity and justice in the future workforce of Interior. Get in touch.
Next Interior Internship: Are you still in school or changing careers, so that you would like to do some work that advances your educational goals? Maybe a little earlier career than what the Fellows program is designed for? The Internship Program is designed as a time-limited option that mixes learning with direct application in work. Apply here. (Coming soon)
Funders: Most internships are intended to further an educational outcome rather than being a form of employment. However, just like with Fellows, there is a significant equity issue, where qualified, driven people may not be able to take an internship because they need to be paid. Please consider how you could help us make the Internship Program a paid program. Get in touch.
