Alliance for Community Trees Fellowship
The mission of Alliance for Community Trees is to support grassroots, citizen-based nonprofit organizations dedicated to urban and community tree planting, care, conservation, and education. The purpose of ACT's Internship Program is to develop graduate and undergraduate students' knowledge and work experience through urban forestry related programming, community-based projects, and nonprofit management.
By interweaving experiences in policy, economics, and organizing, interns leave prepared for leadership positions in nonprofit organizations as policy implementers, problem solvers, and effective programmers. All interns are provided hands-on opportunities to build capacity and sustainability. Interns benefit from exposure to and guidance from professionals at the most innovative and established urban forestry nonprofits organizations throughout the country. ACT attracts highly motivated and diverse students with broad perspectives for solving increasingly complex environmental and urban development problems through community development.
