Leave No Trace Internship Program

At the suggestion of my advisor, I sought out an internship my senior year of college.  I ended up working at Leave No Trace, assisting in outreach and communications efforts.  In the process of a semester, I gained tremendous insight into the non-profit world and experience in a professional setting - neither of which I would have received in a classroom or lecture.  It was a valuable experience for me (in more ways than one - I am now the Community & Partnership Coordinator at the Center) and I always recommend an internship program for college students, particularly the Center's Internship program.

The Center is currently accepting applications for Summer and Fall 2008 interns.  More information can be found here.  Feel free to drop me a line with any questions you may have - or better yet, pass this information along to someone you think might be interested in working at the Center.

The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics offers internships throughout the year, giving interns an opportunity to work on a variety of different projects and gain valuable experience in a number of areas, including:

• Education and Training
  
• Program Development
  
• Marketing
  
• Scientific Research
  
• Membership/Partnership Programs
  
• Non-profit Management
  
• Database Management
  
• Development/Fund Raising
  
• Grant Writing
  
• Curriculum Development
  
• General Outreach
