Paid Internships for High School Students


 Held in partnership with the Riverdale Neighborhood House, our High School Environmental Internship exposes teens to different areas of environmental studies. Our mission for this program is to give the youth from the Bronx and surrounding communities an opportunity to learn about their local environment, as well as the chance to gain valuable job skills. Teens will learn about improving and conserving their environment, specifically Van Cortlandt Park. This includes learning about forest ecology, trail maintenance, and tree identification. The teens will learn about different careers and basic job skills while gaining writing and speaking skills that will help them become strong leaders.

FVCP’s Environmental Internship Program will run from November to June. Teens accepted in the program are required to work every Friday from 4:30 to 6:00 and alternating Saturdays from 9:30 to 2:30. Please contact Tina at tina@vancortlandt.org for an application or download one from our website at www.vancortlandt.org. Applications are due October 9th.  RNH also offers an Educational and Health Internship along with several semester long internship.  More information is available about all of these internships on the application- http://vancortlandt.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/YIP-2013-2014-Application-new-applicants.pdf
