WCC Individual Placement program
Washington Conservation Corps offers internship opportunities through the Individual Placement (IP) program. Our IP members serve directly with natural resource professionals, gaining real-world experience and growing their network in the environmental field.
We partner with federal and state agencies, nonprofits, and conservation districts who oversee our IP members as they carry out environmental projects. As WCC members, IP members receive all the same benefits as our field crews, including a bimonthly living allowance and professionally taught, career-transferable trainings and certifications.
Individual Placement (IP) members serve directly with a partner organization, assisting biologists, foresters, environmental educators, and others with environmental projects. Depending on the position, projects may include:
- Supporting environmental research
- Creating outreach materials to inform the public about environmental topics
- Coordinating volunteer or youth environmental education events
- Assisting with ecological monitoring projects
- Designing habitat restoration projects
Due to the technical nature of these positions, a college degree is preferred for some positions but not required. IP positions may require a resume and cover letter in addition to our online application.
Join the IP program
Our IP positions are full-time and start annually in October, running for 11 months until the following September. Applications open annually in June. To learn more about IP program eligibility and member benefits visit our WCC member positions page.
