College Program For Seniors

Hello, my name is Sidney and I am the Recruitment Specialist AmeriCorps Member at Conservation Corps MN & IA. We are a nonprofit dedicated to engage youth and young adults in meaningful service, leadership development, and environmental stewardship.

I am reaching out in hopes you will share our Increasing Diversity in Environmental Careers (IDEC) program relevant to your staff so they can forward this opportunity with their students via email.

This is a program open to high school seniors with an interest in natural resources who plan to enroll in an accredited two- or four- year institution in MN this fall and pursue a STEM degree. The IDEC program provides a unique opportunity for underrepresented students, specifically, women, rachial or ethnic minorities, and/or individual with disabilities to develop a career path through three components:

Fellowship: The fellowship provides students with a supportive community, yearly academic scholarship, and professional development.
Mentorship: The mentorship aims to enhance college success, encourage personal and professional development, and promote career advancement by pairing fellows with employees at one of the participating state agencies.
Internship: The full-time paid internship, which runs from May to August, allows fellows to learn more about environmental and natural resources career paths through paid, on-the-job experience.
We are actively accepting applications until May 15, 2020 and online information sessions are held this month and in May! We would also be happy to setup an online half-hour session for your students or make a “virtual visit” to classrooms during this time of distance learning.

Conservation Corps leadership is actively monitoring the current COVID-19 situation. We believe we can operate this program this fall and will make modifications as necessary in the interest of health and safety.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact me or May Yang at may.yang@conservationcorps.org.
