The Green Jobs Summer Program will place high school youth into summer internships with outdoor and environmental organizations. We are looking for diverse students who are interested in green careers and want to give back to their community. The job hosts listed were selected because of their ability to provide a personalized learning experience and their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Interns must be between the ages of 15-18 and enrolled in high school. Youth who graduated in spring 2024 are also eligible to participate. The goal of the program is to connect BIPOC youth to careers in the green sector, but all youth who meet the age criteria are eligible to apply.
Interns will earn $17-$18.50/hour, depending on experience, plus a $300 program completion bonus. Internships will occur from June 20-August 23.
