Interns and Associates

NGO Sustainability, Inc. offers opportunities for interns and associates who want to be involved in global sustainable development, renewable energy, and women’s empowerment issues.

Experience, Connections, Learning

Interns and associates get intensive experience with the United Nations- helping to organize events and often attending relevant sessions with Roma Stibravy, President and Founder of NGO Sustainability, Inc.

Their work helps build connections while raising awareness and promoting sustainability. Their contributions are critical to meeting mission and using resources for direct service.

Associates

Post-graduate students and experienced professionals also join our team for special projects or as longer term advisors.
