Internship opportunity

Work at Seven Generations Ahead (SGA) continues and they have even been able to support a slightly scaled back, virtual internship program. 

They currently have a position open!

 

Zero Waste / Wasted Food – Internship at Seven Generations Ahead

15-20 hours/week – unpaid position, but travel costs will be reimbursed

 

 

Seeking interns focused on sustainability within the food system, to include “boots on the ground” work. Interns will experience

 

  • Impacts of COVID-19 on the food system
  • How we communicate the importance of reducing wasted food to various audiences
  • How we support a grocery store chain in reducing wasted food and employee engagement
  • Researching resources and creating content on reducing wasted food
  • Connecting wasted food to climate change (ghg, what’s the impact)
  • Opportunities to learn about and participate in the wide variety of sustainability work and programs at SGA!

 

Due to COVID-19, this internship will primarily be remote work and there may be opportunities for hands on work if the opportunity is safe and presents itself. Strong preference will be given to applicants who are interested and comfortable with travel to Aurora, IL and Batavia, IL.

Please send resumes to Lisa (admin@sevengenerationsahead.org).  The position is available immediately through the spring.
