IPs typically serve 11-month AmeriCorps member positions within a sponsor organization assisting biologists, foresters, environmental educators, and more. Typical projects include:
- Engaging in environmental research.
- Creating outreach materials to recruit volunteers and / or inform the public about environmental topics.
- Assisting with monitoring projects.
- Designing restoration projects.
Due to the technical nature of these positions, a college degree is preferred but not required. Candidates accepting one of these positions will commit to 11 months of AmeriCorps service (October-early September). Transfer to other WCC positions for IP members will not be approved.
