This will be an 8-week (about 2 months) project - Visualizing Community Impact: ROI Storytelling for Renewables Development, equips our team to translate pre-permitting efforts (e.g., opposition mitigation, stakeholder buy-in) into clear, data-backed narratives that resonate with Arevon leadership and other departments
The intern will audit current data, build a reusable toolkit, and create tailored "story decks" showing ROI like "$X saved in project delays via 15% opposition reduction." or " Engaged with X stakeholders and X support permitting hearing via XYZ"
Quantifies standardization gains (e.g., faster AP via templates) and opposition wins, making abstract value tangible
