Youth programs is seeking two interns for our summer 2009 program season. Interns will assist in program support in the areas of curriculum design, administrative support, program management, and coordination of the annual youth programs summer trip.

Ideal candidates will have an interest in positive youth development, experiential education, cycling and bicycle mechanics, and environmental justice. Experience in these areas is highly preferred but not required.

The 2009 summer program season will run from mid-June to mid-August. Candidates who are able to work the entire season are preferred, but those who may only be able to work for part of the summer will be considered.
