THE SMALL EARTH NEPAL

Call for Interns

The Small Earth Nepal (SEN)’s core mission is to focus on conservation activities, such as campaigning against the overexploitation of earth’s limited resources and engaging the public through programs that teach individuals of all ages and backgrounds on how to minimize their impacts on those natural resources. Such activities are intended to motivate individuals and organizations, academic institutes, private businesses, and government agencies to pursue sustainable development and system-resilient choices in their day to day workings. SEN is committed to achieving a balance in human-environment interactions through original research that enhances the knowledge framework that provides the reference to both policy and advocacy processes and through diffused activities that affect changes in the everyday lives of individuals regardless of background.

We encourage applications from skilled and motivated recent graduates to serve as an intern for a period of at least three months. The selected intern will be working full-time in the Kathmandu office under the guidance of SEN program coordinators. If the internship is successful there is a possibility of extension in an appropriate position within SEN.
