You will use a service-learning approach to make meaningful changes by working with a community partner to support sustainability in their organization or in the community they serve, all while studying what it takes to be a sustainability change agent. The instructor arranges for community partners who are ready to work with remote students who have various schedules. Alternatively, you can work with the instructor to arrange a partnership with the organization of your choice. This is a great opportunity to connect with people doing the real-world work that you care about.
