Environmental Internship Programs

CISC Interns kayaking down the Bronx River

At CISC, we believe that educational experiences outside of the classroom serve to enhance the academic experience of students by providing opportunities for hands-on learning in the sustainability field. Through their internship experiences, students further their education and gain the skills necessary to become the sustainability practitioners of the future.

The Institute currently hosts two internship programs to engage students in cutting edge sustainability work: the CISC Internship Program and the Environmental Internship Placement Program:

CISC Internship Program: if you are interested in internship opportunities with the Institute. 

Environmental Internship Placement Program: if you are a CUNY student interested in obtaining an environmental internship with businesses, agencies and organizations.

If you are an environmental organization, agency or business, and are interested in publicizing your opportunity through our program, contact CISC’s Outreach Coordinator Alexandra Hanson at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .


"CISC's Eco Internship Placement Program is awesome... Going to college in the city is great because of all the internship opportunities, but for that same reason it is hard to find those opportunities because so many people are after them. CISC is a great program because it makes the experience of finding an internship a lot more straightforward and helps you focus on the important aspects of internship hunting."
