The Earth Rights Institute (ERI) believes the Earth is the birthright for all people. ERI takes an innovative approach to join education, advocacy and research in building ecologically, economically and culturally sustainable communities in some of the world's poorest communities. ERI advocates a model of development that supports the re-localization of development expertise. We believe that in order to empower communities to manage and direct their own development, strategies and expert knowledge must be conceived locally.
We are affiliated with the IU as a United Nations NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) for these UN Departments;
- ECOSOC (Economic and Social Council)
- UN Habitat
- UNCSD (United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development)
- UN Finance and Development
Requirements: A volunteer is needed to help research the latest information to incorporate into their educational curriculum and revise educational videos. The program was developed to help engage individuals in better understanding sustainable development. You can expect to work directly with the Living Lab Program Director and Executive Director.
Time Commitment: 5+ hours per week
