SIT Study Abroad Jordan: Internship in Climate Change & Sustainability (Summer)

Gain professional experience with organizations like the United Nations, government agencies, and NGOs that focus on climate change and sustainability.

WHY INTERN IN JORDAN?
Through this internship program, you will learn about existing development and environmental challenges and contribute to the design of projects that support community empowerment and sustainability. In recent years, Jordan has made great strides in improving health care and literacy and has enacted important democratic and economic reforms. The country is also developing innovative approaches to water scarcity; organic farming; food security; and sustainable energy production. Despite these developments, Jordan still faces challenges related to a lack of natural resources, climate change, and environmental conservation, as well as a growing population, including many refugees.

At the beginning of your program, you will receive an introduction to the broader cultural, social, and political context of Jordan and to workplace norms and the ethics of interning in another country. After orientation you will complete an internship focused on issues such as community development and empowerment, refugees, climate change and environmental sustainability, women’s empowerment, water scarcity and security, agriculture and food security, poverty alleviation, the economy and geopolitics, education, ecotourism, renewable energy, or another field related to your interests and career goals. Your internship will be academically rigorous as you participate in weekly discussions, attend curated readings, keep a journal, and write a paper reflecting on your experience.
