We believe that part of what makes communities resilient in the face of wildfire risk is having a strong network of community members working together. For us, that includes a well-supported internship program. We see engaging youth as a key to building a resilient community for the future.

​

Internships are a great way for students and recent graduates to gain valuable work experience and build their resumes. They can also be a good way for people to explore different career options and see if a particular field is a good fit for them. Internships can be full-time or part-time, paid or unpaid, and typically last for a defined period of time. 

​

Our internships offer opportunities targeted at younger community members and students interested in fire safety, helping elderly and other community members, environmental science, and nonprofit management.

​

Internships may be paid or volunteer-based and will focus on areas such as:

• Social media and public outreach.

• Event coordination and community engagement.

• Administrative support and data management.

Our interns will have opportunities to work with both Fire Safe Nevada County Coalition Staff, Board Members, and local Firewise Community Leaders.
