Alliance for Sustainable Communities

Since 2004, Alliance interns have been using research & analysis to rethink the way we do things and undo the ‘business as usual’ thinking that has caused so many of the current crises. In the process, they raise awareness and help create a more sustainable future even as they gain hands-on experience developing solutions.

Summer Internships – This year, we made several internships available, rather than a single major project. Based on applications as of the end of April, there will be a strong focus on climate action.

NOTE: Due to the pandemic, some internships are being done ‘remotely’.

If you are interested in a summer internship or would like more information, contact internship coordinator Peter Crownfield as soon as possible!
