Internships
It's that time of the year again!
We are scouring the countryside for another band of amazing interns.
Last year's interns had a positive impact throughout the Northern Forest. Whether guiding a youth group on an educational paddling trip through the lakes and rivers of New Hampshire, building a stone staircase on the Permenant Rapids Carry in New York, or reaching out to NFCT members, the effort was tremendous.
This year, with continued support from the
Adirondack Watershed Alliance and dollars generated through the NFCT Trail Fund, we will field 4 Roving Stewardship Interns, and with Department of Justice funding we will field 3 Youth Program Interns. 
Stewardship Intern Opportunities
Roving Stewardship Interns will complete trail work along the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, living in a tent with other interns, staff, and volunteers. There will be opportunities for project coordination as well as hands-on field work ranging from sign installation, to stream bank stabilization, to stone staircase construction. To see examples of last years projects see our 2011 Field Season page. APPLY.

Youth Program Intern Opportunity
Youth Program Interns will help coordinate and lead NFCT's Northern Forest Explorers Youth Program. Youth Program Interns will work with children ages 10-14 in a program developed to connect rural youth with their backyard waterways. Access the Job Description or APPLY.
Candidates need to be at least 18 years old at the time of the internship. All field-based Interns are required to have a minimum of Wilderness First Aid Certification. If you do not have a current certification we can help you find a location offering the training before the season begins. Ideal candidates will have experience camping in backcountry settings and paddling both still and fast water.
Applications for all intern positions should be e-mailed to intern@NorthernForestCanoeTrail.org by March 12, 2012. Unless noted otherwise, the season will run from June 11th to August 16th.
