“Undoubtedly, the skills I have acquired through this internship have empowered me to enhance the strength and impact of my resume. The comprehensive training and hands-on experience in areas such as native and invasive plant identification, invasive plant removal techniques, geo-mapping, trail maintenance, and proficiency in utilizing a variety of manual hand tools have significantly bolstered my professional qualifications. With these newfound skills, I am confident in presenting a stronger and more compelling resume to potential employers.”

The mission of the American River Parkway Foundation Internship program is to work with ARPF staff lead and inspire the community to conserve and nurture the American River Parkway as a unique, accessible resource for everyone to enjoy. Interns will get hands-on experience in the environmental field and in running a non-profit business.
Previous interns have worked with invasive plant management, wildfire restoration, trail maintenance, GIS mapping, special events and other projects. ARPF internships are unpaid positions that provide high school and college credit.
