I will be graduating high school this May. What is the best way to get a forestry internship with no experience?

I will pursue an Associate's Degree in Forestry Technology at the local community college this Fall.

I have applied for a local AmeriCorps summer program.

I work part-time at an electronics recycling company.

I enjoy rock climbing, camping, and backpacking.

Hi Talus,

It sounds like you are doing all the right things! AmeriCorps is a great place to look into! Like Americorps, The Student Conservation Association is another good one to look into- https://thesca.org/

You could look at being a camp counselor for a summer camp that involves camping, rock climbing, and hiking.

Another good place to look is the conservation job board

Look into volunteering or working at some State or National parks near you.

This is a hard field to get into (not a lot of jobs) and what helps is connections! Volunteering is a great way to make connections. Be sure in the fall to talk to your professors and your campuses career services about part-time jobs, internships or volunteering.

I hope this helps!
