Overview

The Institute for Sustainable Development's competitive national fellowship program connects interdisciplinary student teams with regional small businesses and non-profits to help them self-assess their organizational sustainability with an 87-indicator diagnostic tool, and track and measure their economic, environmental, and community impacts.
The Institute's Sustainability Fellows program will inspire and train a new generation of sustainability changemakers by providing them with the skills, support, and tools they need to begin their work with the North Carolina small business community. Moreover, by connecting the small business community - a group that has been left out of the national sustainability discussion - with accessible, affordable resources, the Institute is helping to make small businesses and the communities within which they reside healthier, stronger, and more competitive.
