LINC Internship with Golden Gate National Recreation Area

During this six week long program, students assist with service projects, gain career and leadership skills, and take field trips to special park sites such as Alcatraz and Muir Woods. Projects and activities vary by week and include trail work, plant propagation, and habitat restoration. In addition, students will get the opportunity to learn more about ecology and science. The 2017 summer will begin with a 4-day camping trip to Yosemite National Park, during which participants will support a service project, engage in team building, explore the sites, and take an 8 mile hike.

2017 Applications will go live in early February
