The following are staff of the Sustainability Internships and Community Resources Department.  Many of our students are also supervised or advised by mentors outside of the Department. You can read about those on our mentors page.

SICR is a partner of the UCSB Basic Needs and Rapid Rehousing Program. We host most of the student interns who are hired through the Food Security and Basic Needs Taskforce. This includes offering space, mentorship, ensuring students have access to the resources needed to do their projects, financial management of their budgets, and personnel management. You can learn more about the basic needs program and see the listing of student staff at basicneeds.ucsb.edu/about/meet-our-staff#studentstaff.

SICR is the home department for UCSB College Corps. You can learn more about the College Corps program and see the listing of professional staff, student interns, College Corps fellows, and Community Host Partner Supervisors at sicr.sa.ucsb.edu/college-corps/our-team
