Student Diversity Internship Program: Environmental Justice (EJ) eco-Ambassadors
The Environmental Justice (EJ) eco-Ambassador Program, in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Student Diversity Internship Program (SDIP) is providing student internship opportunities focusing on environmental justice. This new partnership supports Administrator Lisa P. Jackson’s priorities to “expand the conversation on environmentalism and work for environmental justice.
The EJ eco-Ambassador focus area aims to:
• Expand opportunities for graduate students to work collaboratively with EPA offices to support community based programs and increase local community’s capacity to address environmental concerns; and
• Facilitate career development opportunities for graduate level students who have been involved in or have a strong interest in environmental justice.
Student internship opportunities to work on environmental justice concerns are available at EPA Regions nationwide.
