How We Grow Student Leaders:
Green Campus Action Plan (GCAP): R'Garden Internships
The Green Campus Action Plan (GCAP) is a student initiated referendum passed in 2010 and renewed indefinitely in 2014. It supports green initiatives on campus by way of student-led sustainability projects, and funds internships with the Office of Sustainability and the R'Garden. See more details below!
R'Garden Referendum - coming soon!
With a legacy of advocacy, we champion the role of student voices in making lasting institutional change here at UCR. This year is paramount for this process, and we hope you can join our cause!
UCR Gardening Club
As a community service-based organization, Gardening Club is comprised of students passionate about seeing sustainable initiatives on our campus and in our communities. We raise awareness about local sustainable food systems and environmental justice while empowering students to take collaborative action! See their website for more, UCR Gardening Club.
Green Campus Action Plan (GCAP) - What do the R'Garden Interns do?
In association with the ASUCR branch GCAP, the R'Garden hosts paid student internships designed with the purpose of compensating students for climate action work. The primary role of R'Garden is to grow student leaders alongside the food we grow! Interns gain hands-on experience with programming duties (organizing workshops, tabling, etc), as well as technical skills related to agriculture (irrigation installation, plantings, etc). The objective of this internship is to facilitate a relationship between UCR's campus, and the sustainable food sector in the greater Inland Empire area by working closely with non-profits in the area (Grow Riverside, IE Food Co-Op, etc). Students in this role strengthen the investment of UCR's campus in local communities, and diversify conversations related to environmentalism, and sustainability. Interns are hired yearly, and if you are interested, please send an email to our staff for more details!
