UTM IEC is working with Roots to help students connect to global internship opportunities. Their "roots" lie with Greenpop, an environmental nonprofit based in Cape Town. Greenpop has grown exponentially since it was founded in 2010, partly because it has always thrived on interns and volunteers from around the world. Over the past decade, over 250 people from more than 25 different countries have joined the organization to get their hands dirty. They evolved and Roots Intern was born! Their ‘roots’ have spread around the world to partner with nonprofits/NGOs, Social Enterprises and do good organizations in a range of countries and focus areas. Join this virtual information session to learn about how to get involved, the application process, and funding opportunities! Visit the webpage here:
