Help Color Boston Green
BNAN is currently seeking interns with an interest in environmental sciences, community outreach, open space research, database management and web development. Our wide network of contacts with various local organizations and community garden groups will expose the interns to a wide range of topics including local gardening issues, landscape architecture, urban planning, community organizing and environmental research. The interns will be able to work closely with the BNAN staff to create a personalized and challenging internship program. Potential candidates should be motivated, reliable and available for occasional night and weekend commitments.
