ReWild Long Island is accepting applications for youth internships and community service opportunities at sites located in the Town of North Hempstead, NY for its fourth summer.
The 2024 Summer Program to Fight Hunger and Climate Change includes volunteer work from late June to October in organic vegetable harvesting, regenerative food production, sustainable landscaping, pollinator garden design, and composting.
Locations and partner organizations include the Greentree Foundation, Guggenheim Preserve, Plant-A-Row Helen Keller National Center Garden, Sands Point Preserve, Science Museum of Long Island, Town of North Hempsted Beach Park, Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Shelter Rock, and more. These hands-on activities encourage teenagers to connect with the ecosystem.
Furthermore, ReWild offers students the unique opportunity to engage with local environmentalists, gaining insights into community-driven environmental activism that will help them discover future initiatives.
ReWild welcomes high school students and rising freshmen to apply. Applications are open until the program fills and can be found at ReWildLongIsland.org/SummerProgram. Interviews begin the week of May 20.
While the program is quite flexible, student volunteers are required to work a minimum of 30 hours (including training). Student interns are required to work a minimum of 60 hours (including training) and will receive a stipend of $300 at the conclusion of the program. All participants earn community service hours, among other lasting experiences.
Apply to ReWild Long Island and make a difference in your community’s sustainability.
