GoGreen, get involved!


Are you ready to get involved this fall? The Office of University Sustainability has many exciting opportunities for you:

Internships & Work-Study Positions
The office looks for new interns at the beginning of every semester. Internships are available to FIU students in any major and are offered on a volunteer basis. Internships can be used for independent study credit; just ask your your academic advisor. Hours are flexible, and projects are assigned based on student’s major and interests.
Any student eligible for Federal Work-Study can apply to work at the office. The position provides hands-on opportunity, working on different sustainability projects around campus, experience in helping prepare reports and field experience. Email GoGreen@FIU.edu, if you’re interested.

Project Funding
Do you have a great idea for a sustainability project on campus? The Sustainability Committee wants to fund your project! Each year, the committee gives out $10,000 to student projects on campus. Check out GoGreen.FIU.edu/Get-involved to learn about projects funded in the past. To learn more, read the guidelines and fill out an application today to get your project funded!

Volunteer Opportunities
GoGreen Tailgates – Do you like football? Do you like to Tailgate? Join the FIU GoGreen Team for our Recycling Tailgates at all the home games! We will have a tent set up for our own tailgate party and mingling with other tailgate parties to pass out recycling containers and teach them about recycling. We will also be hosting a Green Soccer Game and Green Volleyball Game.

FIU Nature Preserve Work Days – If you like nature and want to get a more hands-on experience, come work in the FIU Nature Preserve. Our Nature Preserve student manager will teach you about the ecosystems represented, and you’ll get the opportunity to remove exotic plants, plant natives and help maintain the trails.

Recycling at the American Heart Walk – The American Heart Walk will be taking place Oct. 29 at Modesto A. Maidique Campus. The FIU GoGreen Team needs your help setting up recycling bins, encouraging participants to recycling and weighing the recycled materials.

More volunteer opportunities will be coming up throughout the semester, so make sure you check the calendar on GoGreen.FIU.edu, or email GoGreen@FIU.edu, to learn more!
