About CELL
Are you ready to go beyond fetching coffee and filing papers? We want you to do REAL work, and have a REAL impact! CELL's Virtual Internship Program (VIP) is a unique, hands-on nonprofit training program designed to introduce college students to CELL, the principles of sustainability, and nonprofits. As a Virtual Intern, you will be able to take your passion for sustainability and your skills to do great things from anywhere! We will teach you the skills and give you the tools. Working with a team of passionate young leaders, you will change the world.
Sustainability through life, work, and community
CELL is a nonprofit educational organization inspiring students (our future leaders) to bring creative, systemic solutions and environmental stewardship to their individual lives and leadership positions. It is often assumed that ecological sustainability and business are mutually exclusive. VIP was designed to demonstrate that this is not the case. As a Virtual Intern, you will learn the principles of ecological sustainability as it applies to your life, your work, and your community.
Virtual work, real impact
The other component of VIP is to provide young leaders with real-world, practical business experience. Too often, interns are overlooked and undervalued. Our goal is to give you the tools and skills necessary to succeed in any business: nonprofit, profit, or otherwise.
