Description
Trout Unlimited (TU), in cooperation and coordination with the Nez Perce Tribe, has established an internship program for an undergraduate college student to learn about, contribute to, and participate in many aspects of TU’ s priorities, programs and projects in Idaho. TU’ s goal is to provide work experience to a college student affiliated with the Nez Perce Tribe who is interested in learning about career opportunities and activities of a national non-profit conservation organization. Working with TU staff will provide the intern with exposure to a broad range of career options. Moreover, TU will arrange meetings with partners so that the intern can learn about other types of organizations as well.
We are seeking an undergraduate college student affiliated with the Nez Perce Tribe with an interest in conservation, fisheries, or water management. The applicant will need to have effective communication skills, be comfortable working independently and with others, have good time management skills, and be flexible with assignments.
The internship will last 8 weeks during the summer with specific beginning and end dates mutually agreed upon by the intern and TU. Generally, the hours will be Monday - Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM but there may be exceptions to this schedule. The intern will be notified in advance of any exceptions. The intern may be able to work from home remotely, from TU’s Boise office, TU’s Lewiston office, or the Nez Perce Tribe’s DFRM Watershed Division offices in Lapwai or a combination thereof. The intern will be paid $18.00 per hour.
