Dear friends and colleagues,
Applications are now available for all 2016 Eco Practicum programs, including our Spring Break Practicum in New York City and our Summer Practicum in the Catskills. Please see program details below; and share with college students, recent graduates, young professionals interested in making an impact in the field of environmentalism. As always, don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions, suggestions, or opportunities to partner.
Here’s what we’ve been up to… We’ve recently returned from our first collaborative program with Good Food Jobs where a group of young professionals collaborated and exchanged ideas about how to better and more authentically participate in the good food movement. We are also working with the Food + Enterprise Summit in NYC to bring an equity and impact focus to this incredible conference that has already improved connections between food entrepreneurs and investors to strengthen a sustainable regional food system. We have incorporated new Ecological Justice principles and goals into our work, and we’re continually pushing ourselves to get better and better at providing emerging leaders in the environmental movement with the knowledge, skills, and connections to make an impact. We invite you to join us and help us spread the word.
Thank you,
Eugenia Manwelyan, Co-Founder & Director
