Special Internships Projects

Our newest internship pathway, Special Internship Projects, offers unique opportunities that grow out of CoSEE’s collaborations with community and partner organizations. These internships don’t always follow our typical pathways; they may have different timelines, offer paid options, or focus on more specialized areas of work.

Upcoming projects

Camp Smore environmental education support

Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park hosts Camp S’mores, an overnight outdoor adventure for about 75 families. An intern will help plan and lead activities including art projects, guided hikes, and introductory paddleboarding or kayaking sessions. The intern works closely with the event committee to design the full schedule for the July 25–26 event.

City of Kenmore tree inventory

Interns collaborate with the City of Kenmore to update the public tree inventory by identifying species, documenting tree health, and collecting location data using GIS tools. The project provides hands-on fieldwork in urban forestry for students with backgrounds in mapping, GIS, and basic tree or plant biology.
