When it comes to helping care for our planet, it’s all hands on deck.
Our Environmental Leaders Network is a community for all UF undergraduate students to grow and learn how to use their skills to shape a greener future.
We offer a centralized platform for students to explore their interests, skills, and passions through environmental research, social, career, education, and civic engagement opportunities both on campus and throughout our community.
What does the EL Network offer?
- Student-accessible database and email newsletter featuring environmentally focused volunteering opportunities, jobs, internships, seminars, professional development workshops, and more.
- Network social events to help foster connections between students, environmental professionals, mentors, and experts.

Join the EL Network Mentorship Program
The EL Network is launching a mentorship program to bridge the gap in knowledge and better introduce students to all UF has to offer. This program also acts as a valuable resume building experience and offers opportunities to develop and enhance necessary career soft skills.
TESI’s Environmental Leaders Network is currently seeking undergraduate students to take part in a new mentorship program for Spring 2025.
