Overview
This experiential learning program has been designed by Paragon One in collaboration with Greenpeace USA to offer talented students an opportunity to develop and showcase their strategic problem solving and critical thinking skills by working on real work projects.
This program will focus on the Distributed Organizing Team (DOT) that engages with Greenpeace supporters and volunteers across the country. Externs will recruit GenZ participants from a USA based local organization and a University/College (their own preferred) to conduct primary research with the objective to suggest improvements to Greenpeace’s volunteer outreach for visitors and potential volunteers, based on their research and analysis.
