Student Internships -Web Research and Content Development

Travel Greenest is currently interviewing students and recent graduates for our internship program. We are a small online startup business. Our model is to connect our website users with environmentally and socially responsible travel experiences. We aim to adhere to the principles of social entrepreneurship, where the cause of providing optimal benefit to both people and planet is endemic to all our visions, plans, structures, policies and practices.
