Mission: Leveraging diverse partnerships, RISE’s mission is to create a sustainable future and green workforce for Hawaii through paid work opportunities

Rewarding Internships for Sustainable Employment (RISE) is an internship program developed to provide Hawaii college students and recent graduates with paid work experiences with different public and private organizations in the State of Hawaii.

RISE intends to achieve its mission through on the job training opportunities, as well as an engaging Sustainability Seminar Series (S3).  S3 is intended to provide sustainability training, project specific trainings and workshops, a speaker series, volunteer opportunities, community outreach events, and field trips in order to engage the interns in different sustainability projects in Hawaii.  S3 will provide interns with the concepts, language, and foundation for the work they are producing in their internship, as well as other skills that may transfer in future sustainability careers.
