With more than 100,000 members and supporters in Texas, we are one of the state’s largest grassroots environmental organizations. We seek to accomplish our mission statement - to explore, enjoy and protect - the planet through active education and promotion of the responsible use of the Earth's ecosystems and resources.
What We Do
The Texas Sierra Club educates the public and our members on energy, water, and the natural environment issues. We promote solutions that will create thousands of new, green jobs that stimulate the economy, all while conserving our water and ensuring we have clean air to breathe. We accomplish this through political and grassroots action that focuses on activities at the Texas Legislature, state agencies, city governments, and communities around the state where public policy decisions affect people and the environment
Opportunities & Expectations Of Interns

Hours include being present during regular office hours and attending meetings and activities. Sierra Club will also reimburse any internship-related travel costs.
