What programs exist to educate individuals and communities about environmental justice issues?
For several years, EPA has sponsored an internship program with the express desire to encourage students to pursue an environmental career. The internships, which are limited to six months of duration, formalize training and provide “hands-on” experience for students. Students must be registered at a university to participate. In addition to the internship program, the Small Grants Program is available to increase address local problems, raise environmental awareness, expand outreach, and provide training and education. More information about these programs can be found on the environmental justice web page.
