Earth Grant

The Earth Grant program at Arizona Institute for Resilience is a year-long paid internship and leadership development program for a diverse cohort of UArizona students passionate about environmental and community resilience. Individually, each student is matched with a mentor working in their field of interest for a 10-20 hr/week paid internship project. As a cohort, students engage in weekly activities to gain cross-sector leadership skills within a supportive peer group. By the end of the program year, Earth Grant students have contributed to real-world outcomes for people and the planet, gained career-ready leadership and professional skills, and formed lasting relationships within a growing peer-mentor network.
