Externship

Overview

This experiential learning program has been designed by Paragon One in collaboration with Greenpeace USA to offer talented students an opportunity to develop and showcase their creative problem solving and critical thinking skills by working on real work projects. The Distributed Organizing Team (DOT) helps engage with supporters and volunteers across the country creating opportunities that allow volunteers to engage with Greenpeace campaigns, organize in their own communities, learn core skills, and build relationships that keep them involved in this work for the long haul. The DOT team uses a distributed model to build and support people's power and scale up to rise to the challenges we face. During the program, students will conduct a benchmarking exercise with national nonprofit organizations and campaigns as well as research the opinions of disability advocates activists in the space to provide the DOT team with suggestions to improve accessibility to website visitors and potential volunteers, and suggest next steps for larger fixes to become the gold standard.
