Join the Student Leadership Council!

November 18, 2022

Want to help us facilitate student involvement at the 2023 Georgia Climate Conference? The Georgia Climate Project is looking for student representatives from each of our academic partners to sit on a student leadership council!

The Georgia Climate Project (GCP) is a state-wide consortium of colleges and universities. Our goal is to improve understanding of climate impacts and solutions in Georgia and lay the groundwork for the state to take effective climate action. Learn about our activities at www.GeorgiaClimateProject.org. 

Primary tasks of the student leadership council will include working with a team of diverse students from colleges and universities within the Georgia Climate Project to accomplish one or more of the following goals:

1. Developing a student presentation plan, which includes a call for abstracts, selection of presentations, and coordination of student presentations/poster displays at the conference.
2. Coordinating student volunteers for the conference.
3. Running a photography contest in which students are able to submit photos of climate impacts and solutions around the state of Georgia.
4. Planning 1-2 events prior to the conference to connect students who are interested in climate change and engage students with the GCP network. 

The ideal candidate will have a passion for working as a team, communicating climate information, managing collaborative workflow, and possess excellent written and oral communication skills. Familiarity with MailChimp, Canva, WordPress, and Wix are preferred, but not required.
