- Help give away renewable energy systems to worthy organizations, for FREE?
If "yes", then please keep reading....
One Penny Per Mile needs energetic, fun and resourceful people to represent our mission, and help us grow, on college and university campuses nationwide.
This is a volunteer position. We need teams of people at every campus. But we are a young organization, and we want to start with a small "pilot" or "beta" program to help us shape the larger nationwide program. Right now, we are seeking teams of three to seven people at no more than seven colleges or universities. Don't be afraid to be the first person to sign up at your school!
Qualifications:
- Full-time student currently enrolled in good standing at a recognized institution of higher learning in the USA, with no significant disciplinary record.
- Cooperative team spirit. Willing to work hard and have fun.
- Solid college-level computer, writing, and discussion skills.
- Must be over 18 years old.
- Engaging personality; not too shy.
- Persistence in the face of opposition. Having gumption and initiative.
- A polite, respectful approach to all persons, in all cases.
Tasks
- Represent One Penny Per Mile (OPPM) at events on campus. Hand out information and answer questions about our mission.
- Solicit contributions from students, staff, and members of the general public.
- Help OPPM develop an educational campaign on driving reduction; strategies, information and support.
- Research sustainable environmental policies at your campus, and report them to OPPM.
- Lobby your College / University administration, to become participants in the One Penny Per Mile program. Most schools have a large fleet of vehicles. What is your school doing to reduce or offset the CO2 emissions from those vehicles?
- Communicate with the OPPM director on a regular basis. Submit ideas for program development. Report on successes and failures of aspects of the program at your campus.
Other Requirements
- You must have access to a reliable computer with internet access.
- You must have an email account, which you can access frequently, and be able to send and receive messages with attachments.
- If you don't have "Skype" on your machine, please try to get it (the basic version is a free download). Skype is a very big plus ...almost a requirement.
OPPM reserves the right to modify this program, in any way, at any time. This is an experimental new initiative, and change should be expected. In fact, that is the objective of the program: to learn and experiment and grow our way into a national program. We may terminate or suspend this program at any time. Persons who are engaged as Campus Representatives must agree to this, and must indicate that they understand this is an unpaid, uncompensated volunteer position.
If you have gotten this far and are still interested, here's what to do. Compose a short note explaining where you go to school, a little about yourself, and why you want to join our team. No need to write a full length autobiography; short is good. If you have a resume, please attach it. If not, please include some information on any previous employment or volunteer experience. Try to reflect on what you have read above. Send it by email to this address: paulsbrown . aia @ gmail . com . (Remove the spaces when you cut and paste the address into your email program. The spaces are used here to fool spam email robots.)
This opportunity is open to all persons who meet the qualifications.
OPPM welcomes all persons without regard to race, gender, economic circumstance, sexual orientation or political viewpoint. OPPM is a non-political organization and takes no position on legislative matters or candidates for office. NOTE: Important! If you are selected for further consideration to become a volunteer OPPM campus representative, we will request verification of your enrollment status at your school, and we will expect you to comply with any rules and regulations at your school pertaining to your volunteer work with OPPM.
