Emerging Leaders in Climate Solutions Internship
Emerging Leaders in Climate Solutions Interns (ELCSI) are current non-science undergraduate or trade school students who are interested in finding their role in the global fight against climate change. This internship is designed to bring climate change solutions into fields like business, law, the arts, and humanities so students can elevate their future careers with a strong foundation in climate literacy. Interns will be trained to understand the climate crisis and join the Wildlife Conservation Society in its goal of extending climate education and action into NYC neighborhoods.

- Hone communication skills needed to both present your culminating project and initiate meaningful conversations about climate related issues within your social circles
