RIVER RANGER INTERNSHIP

The Greenway River Ranger program is designed for high school students to develop their leadership and communication skills, as well as knowledge of the environment and environmental education.

2021-2022 Internship:
​This internship spans the academic school year and engages students from KIPP Denver Collegiate High School. Rangers commit to 4 training days, four teaching days, and two Greenway Leadership Corps events throughout the school year. During these events, they will gain hands-on experience teaching elementary students about their local environment through our elementary excursion (field trip) programs. In addition to environmental education training and hands-on teaching experience, students will learn valuable communication & public speaking skills, take part in leadership & team building initiatives, learn through real-world application & teaching of science topics, develop career awareness & preparation skills, and gain job interview & resume building experience.
See what one of our past River Rangers have to say about their experience!
Through the internship, Youth Educators will:
1. Have training in environmental education theory, techniques, and best practices, culminating in teaching small groups of kindergarten through 5th grade students on educational excursions along the South Platte River.
2. Gain experience that can be applied to a portfolio for certification as an environmental educator through the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education (CAEE).
3. Be a part of the ongoing reclamation and stewardship efforts along Denver’s urban waterways.

​LEADERSHIP CORPS
If the River Ranger program is a little more than what you're looking for, or you don't go to a school that currently offers the internship, check out the Greenway Leadership Corps (GLC). The GLC has a free event every month for high school students! Events range from outdoor adventures to stewardship events to professional development opportunities!

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
"Why Environmental Education?"
Research indicates that students engaged in environmental education (EE) see many benefits, academic and otherwise. Learn why EE is so important.
