Help design and publish the next edition of the Alliance’s Sustainable Lehigh Valley booklet (which now includes more creative content) and assist with publication of the next issue of the quarterly journal Left Turn. Interns will also assist with the Alliance website and create materials to raise public awareness about sustainability-related topics.
In the process, interns will develop a stronger understanding of the many elements of sustainability. [see the Alliance’s goals]
We are looking for a student who can take significant responsibility and who has a strong interest in sustainable communities.
