Founded in May 2010, United By Blue is an apparel company making a difference in the Philadelphia area – for every piece of product they sell, they’re taking away one pound of trash worldwide by company-sponsored cleanups. As they say, “they have one foot in the apparel business and another in waste management—and both feet are making a difference.” Sounds great, right?
UBB is looking for graphic designers for their t-shirts, videographers to tell their story, as well and PR and marketing students looking to break into the green job market. Brian Linton, founder and Chief Trash Collector for UBB says, “One of my original life goals was to become a schoolteacher, and though I’ve pursued a business career, I still enjoy the opportunity to teach whenever possible.”
All kinds of students are encouraged to apply, from the creative to the business-minded. United By Blue’s Head of Marketing Alli Blum says,"It's so great to see passionate, eager-to-learn students come in with a working knowledge of an academic discipline and basic familiarity with the environment who then graduate a few weeks later as passionate members of the Blue Movement with professional portfolios.”
The best part is that all you need to do is send them a cover letter to their internship portal at http://www.unitedbyblue.com/internships.
