Ecologies of Justice Web Design Intern

Ecologies of Justice is seeking a web design intern to redesign their webpage! Ecologies of Justice, EoJ for short, is a national network of people who do work just like ours. We have been involved with this organization for years, and will be featured in their forthcoming book! In preparation for the book’s release date later this year, the folks behind EoJ have asked for our help in seeking an intern to make this website more accessible and better able to amplify organizations like ours around the country.

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS

We work with a wide range of volunteers on the outside and within prisons to help our small organization grow, with an emphasis on skilled, long-term volunteerism. We're particularly interested in working with people from the horticulture industry who feel called to expand access to our trade.  If you're a landscaper, horticulturist or farmer who is drawn to this work, reach out! Thanks to support from the New England Grassroots Environment Fund, we are able to compensate our volunteers for travel to and from the prison gardens. Questions about these volunteer roles can be emailed to mark@thenewgardensociety.org.
