Youth Internship Program

Clearwater’s Youth Internship Program immerses participants in sailing, teaching, team-building and everyday tasks that make Clearwater function as a classroom, a boat, and a home. This program offers a challenging, enjoyable and educational opportunity to people who may not otherwise have this chance. Participants will gain experience in scientific sampling, boat handling, public speaking, ropework, and community living. It is hard work and living quarters are rustic, so be prepared for an exciting challenge . The community is close knit, concentrating on communication, support, trust, and acceptance.

Internships are for young people ages 16-20 from communities in the Hudson River region. Applicants should be interested in one or more of the following: the environment, sailing, history, teaching, and the outdoors. Interns that excel will be strongly encouraged to continue with Clearwater as volunteers, activists or crewmembers.
