• Participate in a variety of L&E opportunities such as contributing to L&E’s social media and blog and supporting L&E events, including Latinxs & the Environment Research Conference 2025 in Berkeley, California. Student Ambassadors will be notified about calls for exciting opportunities to get involved, including optional internship and student engagement opportunities.
• Commit 1-2 hours per week to the program.
