Greetings COSA,
The City of Aurora is excited to be offering a unique and impactful internship for college students passionate about nature who want to make the outdoors a more welcoming place for everyone.
This internship is a vital part of the Generation Wild team that will support the City of Aurora’s mission to expand equitable access to nature for youth and families, especially those from historically underserved communities. You will spend your summer gaining hands-on experience by planning and leading inclusive, community-centered programs that help people build a lifelong bond with the natural world. By helping to break down barriers to outdoor spaces, they will play a big role in fostering the next generation of environmental stewards. The City of Aurora provides a supportive and caring environment where interns can grow their skills in environmental justice, urban green spaces, and youth development. This role is a perfect fit for students who love the environment and want to champion social equity through meaningful public engagement. For those looking for a summer adventure where they can truly give back and help create culturally responsive learning environments, we would love for you to join us as an Outdoor Equity and Environmental Education Intern.
The deadline for submitting applications is May 1, 2026.
