We are thrilled to share with you an exciting opportunity for our students: the Summer High School Internship Program in Urban Ecology. This 6-week paid internship offers students the chance to delve into environmental science and gain valuable insights into college pathways and career navigation.

The program provides a unique platform for students to interact with CUNY Interns and Alumni, as well as High School Interns from Cohort 2022 and/or 2023. Through engaging discussions and hands-on experiences, participants will explore the next steps in their academic journey and gain practical knowledge about pursuing careers in environmental science.
