Positions available: 9 (3 teams of 1-3 students each)
We find the intersection between sustainability and business to be incredibly fascinating and we could use some help learning more about it! Through this 5-week opportunity, you will research and present your findings/recommendations on various given topics.
Here’s an example of what your 16-hour week will look like:
During a meeting with the co-founder(s), we will be given the topic and guiding questions to research on. You will spend the week researching and preparing your findings/recommendations into a 10-15 minute presentation. At the next meeting you will deliver your presentation followed by a discussion.
**The timeline is flexible. We are also open to 4-weeks (20 hr/wk) with 4 weekly presentations OR 8-weeks (10 hrs/wk) with 4 biweekly presentations.
Ideal candidates:
- Interested in sustainability and enjoy researching about it
- Interested in strategic thinking and creative solutions
- Want to improve their presentation and communication skills

Did you know Vancouver, BC throws out an average of 2.6 million disposable cups every week? This linear system of consumption is not sustainable and we are looking to address this issue by shifting consumer behaviour away from disposable culture. BYO is a mobile app-based program that encourages cafe customers to bring their own cup when purchasing drinks to go. For every 5 cups saved through our app, we will plant a tree!
