Climate Activism Internship in the Caribbean
- St. Vincent and the Grenadines
About Program
Join 6-month intensive program that includes studies, courses, and hands-on activities to help prepare the small island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines ready for Climate Change.
Global warming and climate change are serious. St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a “disaster-prone” country. Hurricanes and flooding kill people and leave hundreds homeless. Climate change has thus become a major issue and there is a need for individuals to take action for a secure and sustainable future.
During 9 years we have planted 30,000 trees, cleaned up 30 tons of trash from rivers and beaches, set up 100 organic gardens and 6 Biogas digesters, produced TV and Radio programs, and held "Open Days" in which we teach in schools, community centers, and festivals. Join us to make a lasting impact on these beautiful islands.
Richmond Vale Academy is a climate center with solar, biogas digester, water collection, climate smart farming, permaculture, and more.
