<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="e2ma-style">This is a request for Summer 2020 "Externships in Sustainability" Project Proposals. This year, the Green Fund was able to support 12 extern positions in 6 counties working on a variety of projects. We’ve been funded
by the UA Green Fund through August of 2020 and our budget will allow for up to 12 externs working no more than 35 hours/week for a maximum of 10 weeks (350 hours per extern). </span><br>
<br>
<span class="e2ma-style">The overall purpose of the Externship Program is to create opportunities for University of Arizona students to bring their experience, skills and enthusiasm to their communities through innovative sustainability projects, by working
directly with Extension agents throughout the state. At the same time, those students and Arizona’s communities become more aware of Cooperative Extension’s leadership role in applied research and innovation as it relates to sustainability. </span><br>

<span class="e2ma-style"> 1. Rainwater Harvesting</span><br>
<span class="e2ma-style"> 2. Recycling</span><br>

<span class="e2ma-style"> 7. Energy efficiency retrofits</span><br>
<br>
