CityParks Eco-Innovators

Feeling frustrated or discouraged about climate change? Are you ready to take a leadership role in the care of New York City’s environment? Join CityParks Eco-Innovators! In this paid summer internship, you’ll work with young people from across the City to invent creative projects that push the resiliency movement forward. Make real change as you explore advocacy tools and learn techniques to tackle and help solve challenging environmental issues, including expanding green spaces, increasing recycling and reducing waste, and improving energy efficiency.

Interns will:

  • Get to know the tools we use to address climate change by visiting parks, water treatment plants, recycling and compost facilities, green roofs, green tech companies and more to learn about NYC’s environmental challenges & solutions 
  • Work with experts to develop a concept and draft plan for a local community- or school-based resiliency project that will make a difference
  • Meet new friends and expand your network to include NYC’s decision makers & employers

This program includes opportunities for paid internships.
