Gabriella is a class of 2027 student at the University of Minnesota, Curtis L. Carlson School of Management where she is pursuing a double major in Marketing and Public/Non-Profit Management. She was born and raised in the town of Stillwater, MN where she spends considerable amounts of time outdoors gardening, reading, and enjoying the beautiful St. Croix River. Gabriella has found a passion for sustainability through founding a regenerative community garden, being involved with community groups, and now pursuing a Sustainable Studies minor at the University.

This program became a MN GreenStep Schools Resource Organization in spring 2021, and they continue to have a biannual call for those interested in connecting with an intern.
Each fall and spring semester, the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities offers SUST 4096: Sustainability Internships, a class that supports students in finding internships with a sustainability focus. Students intern for 4, 7 or 10 hours per week for a total of 14 weeks throughout the semester. Students in the class come from majors and programs across the university, but all of them share an interest in sustainability. If you have a project or position that you think could be a good fit for students in the class, reach out to them at their website for details about proposing an internship.
MN GreenStep Schools has worked with interns from this program since 2020 - it is a great resource and rewarding to provide a meaningful experience for the interns. We are glad to have the Sustainability Internships Class, from Sustainability Education at the Institute on the Environment as a MN GreenStep School Resource Organization Member.
