Fun and Functional

Many of my readers are probably looking for a summer job right now, and dreading having to spend their time indoors in front of a computer screen. However, you can have fun this summer and still have something that looks good on a resume. For example, The Conservancy of Southwest Florida (more details below) offers several fun and functional internships.


An Environmental-Education Camp Counselor (The Conservancy of Southwest Florida)

This position is looking for a senior or older who is a science major and has some experience working with younger children. Your duties would include teaching lessons in science and ecology on and off site, in the field, classroom and laboratory. You would also lead activities and field trips.

Sound fun? They are also offering a number of other opportunities to qualified applicants, such as conservation research and wildlife rehabilitation.
