Project: Environmental Justice Institute Internships Narratives
A few of the organizations students worked with through the Environmental Justice Institute.
About the project
During the summer of 2022, Dr. Michelle Garvey facilitated partnerships between undergraduate students and various Environmental Justice (EJ) organizations to complete projects of mutual benefit to both the organization and students’ learning: organizations received the paid labor of student workers, while students received hands-on experience with the support of a cohort and EJ educator.
This StoryMap, created by MNT collaborator Erica Lee, documents the various sites students worked across the Twin Cities metro area.
