About the Program 

Sustainability Advocates is a dynamic and educational volunteering program operating within Station, the Student Innovation House located near CBS in Copenhagen.

At the core of our program is the Leadership Team, a dedicated group of volunteers that collectively defines the program's framework, commits to a series of projects, and sets ambitious goals.

The volunteer commitment spans a period of five months, from September to January.
