Hello scholars -
For those of you in academia, can you please share the following internship announcement among students affiliated with your programs? The Northern Forest Canoe Trail is a great, grassroots organization working to promote a regional approach to low impact recreation and community development in New York, Vermont, Quebec, New Hampshire, and Maine.
Thanks!
Noah Pollock
Northern Forest Canoe Trail Field Coordinator
The Northern Forest Canoe Trail (NFCT) is now accepting applications for its 2009 Internship Program. The NFCT, based in Waitsfield, Vermont, stewards a 740-mile canoe route traversing New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Five interns will be hired this summer:
3 Stewardship Interns will spend their summer in the field, completing trail projects alongside area land managers and community volunteers. Projects will include campsite maintenance, river access improvements, and signage development. Interns will play a key role in preparing for and leading a series of volunteer "waterway" work trips throughout the summer in New York, Vermont, Quebec, New Hampshire, and Maine.
The Program Intern will assist NFCT staff with the wide variety of activities that happen in the busy Waitsfield, Vermont office. The Program Intern will participate in the running of a small non-profit during our busiest season, pitching in on a variety of tasks.
The Youth Program Intern will help coordinate and lead NFCT's Northern Forest Explorers Youth Program. The Youth Program Intern will be working with children age 10-14 in a program developed to connect rural youth with their backyard waterways.
Academic credit can be arranged, and a $1200 stipend will be provided.
