ENVIRONMENTAL INTERNSHIP

PROGRAM

Jump start your environmental career
while serving Pacific Northwest communities. 

For fourteen years, the Environmental Intern program has placed individuals throughout the Washington and Oregon with the leading public lands agencies and community based non-profits: U.S. Forest Service, Fish & Wildlife, Cascade Land Conservancy, Underwood Conservation District and many more. Interns restore watersheds, recruit volunteers, organize public education events and much more in the pursuit of managing natural resources in a sustainable and ecological manner. Along the way, interns develop professional skills and build career networks. They gain practical experience in an exciting field. They make long standing friendships with others in the program. They improve their communities. And it all takes place within one of the most scenic regions in the country!

Interns come from all walks of life but share a common goal: the desire to advance their career in the environmental arena while engaging in service to their communities. While each position varies in its requirements, there are some constants: • A bachelor’s degree in a relevant field of study and/or practical work history • A demonstrated ability to work in a professional environment • A willingness to learn from people and experience • An enthusiasm for community service

 

If you are ready to launch to your career and have the prerequisite skills and experience, the Environmental Intern Program is your path to opportunity.
