The Greenway River Ranger internship program is offered at
select schools in Denver. Students attend training in environmental
education theory and practice, teach activities to elementary students on SPREE
field trips, and gain a deeper understanding of the environment around them.
This position is designed to introduce students to a range of possibilities
in the environmental field and will offer experience needed to apply for a
position with SPREE's summer program.
Interns will have the opportunity to apply for a paid
position working at SPREE's summer camp. Employees will gain lots of teaching
experience working with elementary students, attend paid professional
development workshops, complete service projects in the Denver community and
gain valuable job-readiness skills.
The Greenway River Ranger position is designed for high
school or college aged students over the age of 16. The 11-week program
consists of over 200 hours teaching elementary students at SPREE's summer camp,
completing service projects, and paid professional development that builds the
knowledge and skills needed to pursue entry-level jobs within the environmental
field.
The River Ranger position is open to high school and college
students in the Denver area. (Preference will be given to students who attend
KIPP Denver College High School, as The Greenway Foundation has a partnership
with this school.)
