Intern Projects
Since 2004, Alliance interns have been rethinking the way we do things and exploring ways to 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 – Four students are working on climate action projects, exploring ways to get more developers & contractors actively reducing GHG, specific actions the cities need to take to implement their CAP, and ways to strengthen climate education in K–12 schools. In addition, two interns are working on Editing & Publishing; they will be working on Left Turn, preparing for the fall issue of the Sustainable Lehigh Valley booklet, and taking up the Sustainability Doings newsletter; they will also do some reporting on the summer projects.
