Lake Erie Islands Conservancy, Put-in-Bay Township Park District (PIBTPD), and the Lake Erie Islands Nature and Wildlife Center (LEINWC) look to hire an AmeriCorps Environmental Steward Intern for the summer of 2020.  It is a ten week program working a minimum of 30 hrs per week. Interns are provided a small stipend biweekly and a Segal Educational Award at the completion of the internship–to be used for qualified student loans or tuition.

The intern works on projects like trail maintenance, invasive plant management, grant writing, design of signs and brochures, social media, wildlife and plant surveys, nest box monitoring for the Conservancy and the PIBTPD, depending on the intern’s skill set. For the LEINWC, the intern assists with tours; Wild Tuesday; Nature Camp; native wildlife and pollinator exhibits; community events and outreach; and monitoring the phenology garden and pollinator gardens.

Applicants must be at least 17 years old. Preference is given to university students; a high school education is the minimum requirement to use the education award. It is preferable for candidates to have island housing. If interested, contact Lisa Brohl at leiconservancy “at” gmail.com or 419-366-2087.
