Your two year adventure starts this summer!
The Urban Ecology Center High School Outdoor Leadership program is a unique, two-year paid internship that will help you build a wide range of skills including leadership, mentoring, rock climbing & kayaking, scientific research, public speaking, and much more.
- First we will train you and then you will get paid to get outside! Work outdoors helping with summer camps, outdoor urban adventures (e.g. canoeing, rock climbing, etc.), field research, land stewardship and more. Work hard & have fun!
- Go on a trip each summer! In 2012 we will go on a week-long trip and field study in Northern Wisconsin and in the Porcupine Mtns. in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
- Invite your family and friends! Share your experience with the Outdoor Leader Program in a public, group presentation.
- Work with us all year! Your internship will continue into the school year with a paid internship at the Urban Ecology Center.
- Make an investment! Invest in training that will lead to two years of job security at the Urban Ecology Center.
Next summer the adventure continues as you enter the second year of your internship!
High School Outdoor Leaders are a fun, diverse, dynamic group who will have opportunities to meet new friends and get paid for working outdoors. We are looking for teens who will have completed 9th or 10th grade by June 2012 to apply.
