There will be music, snacks, good people, and of course it's all for a wonderful cause knowing your work and time directly assisted Eco Encore's mission.

Eco Encore is Looking for an Intern!
Position Description:
The Eco Encore Marketing/Community Relations Intern will work closely with the Operations Manger to assist in marketing development projects such as press releases, website updates, ENEWS blasts, blogs, etc. He/she will also assist in creating and managing a community outreach plan, partnering with local schools, Universities, ‘green’ stores, and other organizations in implementing infrastructure for a steady stream of media donations. This position also has an incredible opportunity for growth, and at Eco Encore we support all creative ideas and endeavors in increasing our visibility and donations. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in gaining valuable first hand experience in non profit management, marketing, and development. This is NOT a coffee fetching/paper stuffing internship. We work hard to ensure that all staff and interns gain valuable work skills that will prepare them for the non profit job market. And as Eco Encore grows, the possibility for staff growth increases as well.
Hours and Compensation:
Hours are very flexible to accommodate other commitments. The Marketing and Community Relations Intern's general hours per week can range from 5-15. Currently this is an un-paid internship, with room for growth within the company. This internship can be structured to be suitable for college credit. The work environment at Eco Encore is fun-loving, laid back, positive and fast-paced.
Qualifications:
- A “people person” who is interested in developing non profit skills and experience
- Self-motivated, flexible and highly organized.
- Strong interest in start-up business development, sales management and online programs and services.
- Very comfortable with learning and utilizing a range of web-based programs.

MLK Day of Service
We had a hugely successful MLK Day of Service at Eco Encore this year. In the Pioneer Square offices, we had over 20 lively volunteers from the University of Washington. They worked most of the day, sorting, listing, organizing and moving literally tons of new and old inventory. We provided pizza, drinks, and fun opportunity to benefit an environmental non-profit.
Volunteers at Edmonds Community College were simultaneously hard at work on our behalf – together we listed over 700 new items of used media to sell for environmental causes.
Nationally, over 10,000 groups participated in the Day of Service, even President Obama. It was the largest participation ever for this event.
New Website
Eco Encore gets a new look – we just launched our new website: www.ecoencore.org, so come take a look.
New Operations Manager
We are actively recruiting an Operations Manager to take over for Jenna, who has landed a prestigious overseas placement as part of her academic studies. Sadly, we will be losing Jenna, but hopefully we will gain a fabulous new staff member to champion our causes! If you know someone who may be interested and qualified, the position is posted on www.idealist.org.
