ProjectS
ProjectS connects current university students with a strong interest in sustainability with organisations in the community looking to get more engaged in the Sustainable Development Goals. The projects are suitable for individuals, teams or whole classes of students and can be tailored based on interest. They are of variety duration and are (currently) unpaid. There are a mixture of in person (Perth Australia) and virtual projects.
If you are a faculty member with students interested, or an organisation looking to find students to help work on sustainability related projects, please contact me. Projects can be used for credit or volunteer experience.
