The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (“MassCEC”) seeks to increase diversity within the Commonwealth’s clean energy workforce and create career pathways for Massachusetts college and clean energy certificate students that lead to greater economic stability. In doing so, MassCEC is interested in ensuring Pell grant recipients, First-Generation College students and students from Environmental Justice neighborhoods or Disadvantaged communities as defined here are exposed to career pathways and opportunities in clean energy. 

Browning the Green Space (“BGS”) is a coalition of leaders and organizations powering a just energy transition in the Northeast by creating jobs, building wealth, and reducing energy burden in Black and Brown communities. BGS is partnered with MassCEC to recruit underrepresented students for internships with clean energy companies and environmental nonprofits during the summer 2025 cohort of the MassCEC Clean Energy Internship Program. In addition to their internship, participating students will also receive access to career development workshops and opportunities to connect with peers at other companies throughout the summer. 

These paid positions are funded by the MassCEC. To participate in the program, candidates must have completed a minimum of twenty-four (24) college credits and be currently attending a Massachusetts community college, four-year college, graduate college, or a recent graduate who is considering career opportunities in clean energy (recent graduates are defined as college students who graduated undergraduate or graduate college with a graduation date of May 2025 through June 2026. Law School students, Ph.D. candidates, or students who have been previously enrolled or matriculated in a Ph.D. or Ed.D. program, are not eligible to participate in the Program).
