A new environmental non-profit is looking to hire college students to create and build a collegiate network for their organization. This is a paid internship position!
Who is EcoEvo?
The idea of EcoEvo started with the creation of a non-profit focused on providing tree seeds to its partner companies and tackling deforestation head on. Our team has never been one to take the back seat to addressing issues. While there are certainly a lot of groups focused on this, we don’t think there can be too many. As we began flushing out the idea further, we realized two things:
- There is a generation of people (namely college age) who are highly motivated to take on climate change. They are also looking for ways to better tell their own stories of activation. By creating a network of colleges and college students, we solve the question of who is going to grow and “be” EcoEvo.
- While there is a lot of information on environmental waste and potential things we can all do, it was taking an incredible amount of digging to find the information and often it was too complex and not ready for the masses. So we set out to work with top thought leaders and professors to help us assemble great content that was actionable. We believe making things simple will lead people to embrace taking steps.
