If you are a post-secondary student – undergrad or postgrad – you can become a WWF-Canada Living Planet Leader (LPL)!
Just one of WWF-Canada’s many engagement initiatives, the LPL program is specifically aimed at post-secondary students looking to integrate sustainability in their academic, personal, and professional lives.
To obtain this certification, you must complete and submit the following requirements within 3 months after your final (undergraduate or postgraduate) academic semester:
- Personal application of sustainability: Complete a self-guided checklist of simple solutions-based actions individuals can practice regularly.
- Application of sustainability in academics: Complete a course in conservation or sustainability, or find/create an opportunity to introduce sustainability to an aspect of existing courses or program activities.
- Campus, community, or global volunteerism: Complete 40 hours of volunteer work in an area related to environment, conservation or sustainability before graduation.
- Leadership and teamwork: Complete at least one example of practicing leadership and teamwork.
This certificate is a great resume addition. For those looking to get involved in sustainability, the LPL program provides you with a step-by-step guide for beginning your environmental stewardship. For those already involved, it is a great way to strengthen and represent your accomplishments.
