Interns will also have the opportunity to engage with other departments outside of their focus to gain an understanding of an environmental non-profit.

As a Research Associate Technician intern, you will fully integrate into the organization, attending and reporting at staff-wide meetings and functions. All Research Associate Technicians will have on-site focus supervisors. The Public Outreach Program Manager manages the Research Associate Technician Program with oversight from the Director of Public Impact.
