2023 Summer Internship at Asheville GreenWorks:
Youth Environmental Leadership High School & College Internship Application

The Youth Environmental Leadership Program is an 8-11 week paid summer internship, primarily for young BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) folks of high school and college ages.
Interns work locally in Buncombe County, carrying out GreenWorks projects and working with relevant community partners.
Service days include carrying out projects in our nursery and local rivers, such as water cleanups of our trash capture devices in our local streams and the French Broad River, tree care and planting, and enhancement of native pollinator habitat areas. Interns will also work with relevant local environmental partners such as the Urban Peace Gardens and Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy.
Interns also work regionally in greater WNC and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to complete environmental service and science work, learn from experts, and develop their own group initiatives.
Interns will gain skills in teamwork and environmental science. You will learn to canoe and kayak, hiking etiquette, and nonviolent communication skills.
No experience needed - the goal of the internship is to learn together!
