The Sierra Club, the largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization, is thrilled to announce the 2013 Outdoor Youth Ambassadors for the 4^th annual Best Internship on Earth.

Daniel Cespedes is a rising senior at Oregon State University, where he is studying visual storytelling.  An avid videographer and photographer, Daniel is combining his interests in the natural world with film production and travel.  He is also a bagpiping instructor.

Izzy Weisz is a rising sophomore at Pitzer College (Claremont, CA).  An environmental policy major, she is passionate about the environment, social activism, outdoor adventure and inspiring youth to enjoy spending time outside.  Izzy is also a soccer coach.

From historic climate rallies and high-adrenaline outdoor adventures to student leadership gatherings and celebrity experiences in nature, these outdoor enthusiasts will have VIP access to the Sierra Club. Daniel will utilize his skills in video production and editing, collaborating with on camera presenter Izzy and bringing us all along on the adventure.

In the following video, meet Daniel Cespedes and Izzy Weisz, the two newest interns for the 2013 Best Internship on Earth and see what they have done early on.

The Best Internship on Earth is an exceptional summer program blending job experience in media production with adventure and activism.  For the first time, the Sierra Club has selected two young adults (college students or recent graduates) for the Best Internship on Earth – one position for someone skilled in video production, one position for someone with an interest in being on-camera talent.  Both roles offer an incredible opportunity for adventure, travel and storytelling.
