The Micro-Internship Program is a unique opportunity designed for New Brunswick High school students eager to explore sustainable career paths. Participants spend a day at an environmentally-focused workplace, where they engage with professionals in the field and gain firsthand experience on what a typical day looks like in the workplace. This hands-on approach encourages a deeper appreciation for environmental stewardship and empowers the next generation of leaders in sustainability.

The Youth Climate Leadership Guide is an interactive tool designed with the goal of equipping students with the necessary tools to lead a high-level climate action project at their school. This guide is broken into 6 units focusing on resources and activities relating to climate science, climate justice, eco-anxiety, green careers, project planning, and taking action.

Do you know a school staff member, a student or a school who has gone above and beyond to take action on climate change and who would deserve an award? The Gaia Project would like to recognize those champions who have made an outstanding impact this year, and we are looking for candidates from all across the province.

Nominations are now closed for the 2023-2024 school year. Visit our awards page to learn more.
