Strategic Sustainability Consulting (SSC) is a Washington, DC-based company that provides organizations with the tools and expertise needed to actively manage their social and environmental impacts. We specialize in helping under-resourced organizations implement sustainable solutions usually reserved for large, multinational companies. Please visit our website at www.sustainabilityconsulting.com for more information about our products and services.
These internships are for 15-25 hours/week for January 18, 2010 – May 07, 2010, and may be conducted remotely (although DC-based interns are preferred).
