The Green Heart Project is looking for Summer Interns, specifically, the Crew Leader position with The Green Heart Project’s Summer Youth Internship Program (YIP).
The YIP is Green Heart’s cornerstone youth development program – a paid summer internship experience for high schoolers that focuses on teaching career preparedness, healthy living, and citizenship through urban farming.
