The Sustainable Development internship program is designed for undergraduate students who wish to cultivate their leadership and community-based research capacities to contribute to transformative social change in Appalachia.
In spring 2023, interns will join four collaborative research teams focused on raising the capacity of a new generation in West Virginia to secure the right to food, build a resilient regional food system, prepare vulnerable communities for future climate and flood hazards, and grow access to non-extractive financing for the development of social enterprises that serve disadvantaged communities.
Made possible through a generous partnership with the One Foundation, the internship runs from January to May 2023.
