Review for Oregon Environmental Council, Portland, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

After my first year in college studying Environmental Engineering, I came back in the summer and interned with OEC for about three months. I interned with the Development Team at OEC and did mainly prospect research along with various other tasks including help with events, grant proposals, and reports. The first thing that struck me most about OEC was how friendly and approachable everyone at the office was. Everyone, amidst their very hectic schedules, was willing to take time out and help me with any of my questions. Along with an excellent work environment, everyone there is so enthusiastic about their work and ultimately, saving the environment! It was inspiring to intern with such passionate people who always came to work excited and ready for the day. OEC has done and is working on many productive environmental projects that have pushed Oregon, and especially Portland, to the forefront of successful environmental action. All in all, my experience with interning at OEC was unforgettable--the people and the work environment made interning their a lot of fun and really rewarding!

The people there really made my experience. Everyone was very willing to help me out with my questions and it never cease to surprise me how passionate people were able their work.
