We offer an internship program within WCC, referred to as the WCC Individual Placement (IP) Program. Individual Placements work for natural resource departments throughout the state of Washington. They assist biologists, foresters and environmental educators. They often design restoration projects, recruit volunteers, or partake is very interesting environmental research and monitoring projects.

If you are self-motivated and capable of being a highly productive WCC member with minimal supervision, then this program is for you.
