When I joined the Municipal Climate Internship, I never imagined how profoundly it would shape my career and personal growth. It gave me the tools to kickstart my career in the municipal sector, where I’m now working to help communities address climate issues head-on.
One of the most meaningful experiences was meeting passionate environmentalists, politicians, and municipal staff, and learning how each municipality uniquely develops climate action plans. Through my internship, I honed my professional networking skills and greatly improved my communication abilities. I also learned about the intricacies of policy-making and the importance of community engagement in driving environmental initiatives.
The MCI program is crucial because it goes beyond teaching about environmental protection at the local level. It helps interns achieve new professional goals, making the experience unique for each participant. By working on real-world projects, we gain practical skills and insights that are invaluable for our future careers. This program also fosters a sense of responsibility and urgency in addressing climate issues, which is essential for creating viable and sustainable communities.
The MCI program has opened incredible opportunities for me and solidified my desire to work closely with communities at the municipal level. It provided me with the tools to kickstart my career in the municipal sector and highlighted the vital role municipalities play in supporting community development and climate action.
