Jazz Hostels—a fast growing chain of youth hostels in New York and Miami—is seeking an intern to develop and implement its “Going Green” Initiative.

Jazz Hostels’ Going Green campaign is intended to change the way Jazz handles its day-to-day internal operations and also how it does business with its guests. Desired “green” changes range from switching to non-toxic detergent and energy-efficient light bulbs, to re-insulating walls to trap more heat in the winter, to informing guests about how to be green travelers.
