Roots Interns’ Post

We are reflecting on Amanda Drobek's experience at the International Internship Conference, where she (accompanied by a fellow Roots Alum) discussed the value of internships with organizations that aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Research shows that meaningful work improves performance and commitment—crucial for today’s purpose-driven Gen Z. We shared how specific internships directly support multiple SDGs, offering hands-on experience that fosters active citizenship and rooting young people in work that aligns with purpose. We're eager to keep this conversation going with you! How do you see internships shaping the next generation of leaders committed to sustainable development? #SDG #IIC2024 #meaningfulinternships #internship #discussion #sustainabledevelopment
