Jobs

Housed within our Resilient Land and Water Priority Area, this position will support the implementation, maintenance and monitoring of natural climate solutions projects that increase carbon sequestration and resilience in the Yampa Valley. Projects will span an array of habitats, including but not limited to upland forests, wetland/riparian areas and rangelands/grasslands. The technician will work with project partners, including U.S. Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Youth Corps, and a diverse group of other federal, state, and local partners. 

This position is primarily field-based and will require frequent travel to project sites and to partner meetings throughout the region when needed. Administrative duties and meetings will be held at the YVSC office in Steamboat Springs. The employment period will run for 24 weeks, from the last week of May to the first week of November. 

The goal of the YVSC Internship Program is to connect motivated students and young professionals with professional training and experience that puts them on track to sustainability professions and/or collaborations in the future.

The 12-week program brings interns into contact with YVSC staff and engages them in our programs addressing sustainability issues in the Yampa Valley, while providing them with training and on-the-ground experience in nonprofit work. Using a project-based approach, participants apply what they learn through the internship to contribute to, expand on or develop a meaningful environmental project within our community.
