Brooklyn Level Up

🌱⚡ It’s finally here — and it was worth the wait.

The EcoPower ’26 Internship is OFFICIALLY OPEN and Brooklyn, we have been waiting to drop this one.

9 weeks. 4 tracks. Paid opportunity. Open to ALL high schoolers. No experience needed — just bring yourself and your drive.

This summer you’ll be doing REAL work. Soil testing, community mapping, building tech tools, creating media, running energy clinics, and more. Pick your track and go all in.

🌿 Environmental + Data — for the science lover
💻 Tech + AI — for the builder
🎥 Story + Media — for the storyteller
🤝 Community + Civic — for the connector

This isn’t a sit-and-shadow situation. You’re building something Brooklyn will actually feel.

The wait is over. Now it’s your turn. 👇

Earth Day isn’t new to us. It’s every day. 🌍
You may have never called yourself an environmentalist. But consider this:

→ You’ve watched that empty lot flood every time it rains.
→ You’ve called 311 about trash that never gets picked up.
→ You’ve paid too much at the corner store because there’s no supermarket nearby — and you know that’s not an accident.
→ You’ve watched asthma take over the kids on your block.
→ You’ve held the block together when the city wouldn’t.

That’s environmental justice. You’ve been doing Earth Day all along.

Earth Day turned 56 this year. In Brooklyn, we’ve been answering the call without always calling it that.

At BKLVLUP, we name the work. We build the infrastructure. We train the next generation. We fight for community land trusts, clean air, and green jobs that stay in the neighborhood.

Climate justice IS housing justice IS economic justice IS racial justice. 💚💜
Happy Earth Day, Brooklyn. You’ve been holding it down. We’re just making it official.
