You’ll benefit from the program in many ways:

  • Learn strategies that will teach you how to interact with policy-makers, elected officials and local community groups to affect change.
  • Visit “green” sites and work on environmental projects.
  • Work on projects that improve the LaGuardia campus and surrounding area.
  • Be trained to be a LaGuardia President’s Society Environment ambassador.

Plus, you’ll earn a stipend of $2,000 for participating in the program from November, 2019 to June 2020.

You have to be available for workshops that will be held on Fridays from 1:00 – 3:00 PM and the time will be extended once per month on Fridays 1:00 – 5:00 PM (for group work and off-campus field work).

If you have a passion for the environment and want to have your voice heard, this is a great opportunity.
