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.
