Coordinating gear, housing, programming, credits, and stipends for interns. Partnering with federal agencies to develop an engaging and constructive experience for the conservation corps crews working in the field. Developing new programs for the Field Institute and new outlets for marketing and outreach. Managing the registrations and payment for classes through workplace databases and corresponding with participants.
