Climate Action

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and while the urgency is clear, knowing how to take action can feel overwhelming. That’s where you come in.

On our Climate Action Internship, you’ll work directly with local communities to promote sustainability and raise environmental awareness. Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, your role will involve leading activities focused on recycling, waste management, and protecting the environment

By sharing practical ways to live more sustainably and encouraging others to do the same, you’ll help people understand how small actions can lead to big change. You won’t just be raising awareness, you’ll be driving it.

If you’re passionate about the planet and ready to be part of something bigger, join us. Help shape the next generation of changemakers and be a force for a more sustainable future.
