Position Description: The CTNC intern will be active in the day to day workings of and serve as a co-leader for a dynamic, educational, work-based paid internship for youth of color (ages 15 to 19) with one other co-leader.
Due to COVID we are ready to adjust to the situation at hand. Historically, we have had several interns serving at one time and the CTNC intern would assist leading the group. This summer if needed we are prepared to “hire” youth to work in one to two week blocks and or on special projects such as video production or community outreach. This would allow us to provide youth opportunities for learning while managing the number of people safely in indoor and outdoor settings.
The CTNC intern will be performing environmental work in the field led by experts from partnering organizations, including those from The National Park Service and non-governmental agencies. At least thirty days will be spent in the field completing physical work projects while leading and learning. These projects may include river cleanups, removal of invasive vegetation, citizen science data collection, cleaning out trash collection devices in streams, working in the GreenWorks nursery, and pollinator habitat restoration. The intern will also provide outreach education.
