Student Programs
Non-Profit Sustainability Internship Program
The NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business provides financial support and assistance to Stern students interested in pursuing non-profit internships focused on using market-based solutions to address sustainability challenges.
Organizations will include leading environmental NGOS, leading social-issue focused NGOS, and non-profit organizations working on market-based mechanisms to address sustainability challenges. The non-profit internship program is open to both undergraduates and MBA students.
Students are eligible for funding for positions they find on their own. If you find a position and would like to apply for funding, please email Abigail Talcott-Schlaifer at atalcott@stern.nyu.edu. CSB will require that any organization participating in the program provides funding to the student as well. CSB can discuss those arrangements with the organization directly.
What do I need to do to apply for funding?
Please email Abigail Talcott-Schlaifer at atalcott@stern.nyu.edu.
What are the responsibilities to Stern as part of participation in this program?
