Liaison: Wendy Kedzierski (ESS)
An internship in environmental education will involve working with children and adults at a local educational facility or through Creek Connections. Creek Connections is an environmental education outreach program at Allegheny College. Since it was founded in 1995 as the French Creek Environmental Education Program, Creek Connections has been committed to bringing hands-on environmental education to regional middle and high schools. Using water quality monitoring as the basis of the program, we focus on watershed concepts and awareness. Interns with Creek Connections or other environmental education sites participate in research, activity development, environmental education, public relations, and office communications.

Prerequisite: ENVSC 110 and approval of the supervisor at the internship site.
