MAP's goal is to develop an on-going partnership with top-tier non-governmental organizations (NGOs) focusing on sustainable energy issues for years to come. Our original program, the MAP Sustainable Energy Fellowship program is designed to attract and place qualified students to work directly with NGOs on sustainable energy issues. In addition, MAP seeks to educate and introduce the investment community to the on-going efforts of these NGOs."
Through this opportunity NGOs will:
- Receive incremental financial support.
- Meet and hire talented new Fellows.
"MAP Fellows are essential to the success of our work. Furthermore, NRDC firmly believes that providing talented young people with the opportunity to get their feet wet by working with a real-world environmental group like ours is essential not only to their own career development, but also to the long-term success of the environmental movement in general."
—Nathanael Greene, NRDC
- Work with MAP to create and define Fellowship positions.
- Provide a meaningful work experience consistent with the described positions: including available management, tools, and office.
- Complete a mid-Fellowship assessment and an evaluation at the end of the Fellowship.
- Allow MAP to link to the NGO web site and describe why it chose that organization.
- Allow MAP to relate the Fellows' experiences in its reports.
- Allow MAP to create a link to or post Fellows' completed reports and publications.
- Expose Fellows to the broader mission and activities of the organization.
"Interns/Fellows are invaluable at RMI. In fact, they are the biggest reason we are able to do research. The research is critical to keeping our thinking out ahead of the industry."
—Alexis Karolides, RMI
- Promote each NGO's activities to MAP's investment community through written communication and web site links.
- Publicize to the Stanford community one or more Sustainable Energy Fellowships at the selected NGOs.
- Direct applications to NGOs for selection of final candidate(s).
