Indiana-Ecuador Partnership for Sustainable Development

Indiana-Ecuador Partnership for Sustainable Development

April 27th 7:00pm in the Maple Room, IMU

The Indiana-Ecuador Partnership for Sustainable Development is a new organization devoted to promoting and implementing sustainable development internationally. We seek not only to raise awareness about strategies for achieving development that are economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable, but also to put theory into practice by engaging students in a community development project in San Gerardo-- our partner community in the Ecuadorian Andes. We facilitate internship and service-learning opportunities for students with our partner development NGOs in Ecuador in the areas of health, education, microfinance, agriculture, education, and sustainable tourism, among others. This spring, we are beginning to fill positions for the fall of 2009 in our five working groups: Microenterprise Project Development, Outreach and Development, Sustainable Development Outreach, Grant Writing, and Fundraising.

Although we will accept applications until September 18th, 2009, we invite you to submit your application at your earliest convenience to facilitate the process and to attend our informational meeting on Monday April 27th, 2009 at 7:00pm in the Maple Room of the Indiana Memorial Union. We invite you to contact us with any questions and to submit your application to iepsd@indiana.edu.
