Student Intern – Carbon

Our
mission at IYCJ is to contribute to a more just and sustainable society by
empowering a new generation of leaders for climate justice: youth inspired by
their faith and diverse in many ways.
Our year-long program combines interfaith dialogue, environmental
education, community service, and action for greater sustainability.
