Summer Internship Opportunity for Bronx High Schools

From Wave Hill, a public garden and cultural center:

We are currently recruiting Bronx-area high school Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors for Wave Hill's Forest Project Summer Collaborative as our March 25th application deadline approaches! We are seeking applicants who are interested in the environment, community-minded, and capable of rigorous physical and academic work.

The Forest Project Summer Collaborative empowers teenagers as citizens of an urban environment, and helps them pursue academic and personal fulfillment. This six-week program uses Bronx natural areas for ecological study and job training. Earning wages from Wave Hill and college credits from CUNY's Lehman College, basic forest restoration is taught in the greater context of the urban ecosystem, where woodland management connects directly with air and water quality, wildlife habitat, and biodiversity.

Three levels of internship Plant Science, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Junior Crew Leader Internships are offered based on experience and high school grade completed, encouraging teenagers to grow at Wave Hill by returning each summer for new and increasingly challenging experiences. Applicants should have a grade of B or better in two Regents level science classes.

We are also accepting resumes and cover letters from college students applying for Crew Leader positions in the Summer Collaborative. A job description can be found on our website at: http://www.wavehill.org/about/jobs.html
