Volunteer or intern with the CCRCD!

We would love to have you become part of our team! The CCRCD is always keeping an eye out for volunteers and interns interested in helping us fulfill our mission of protecting and maintaining our natural resources. For students, this is a great way to earn extra credit, and being an intern with the CCRCD meets the scholastic requirements of most environmental outreach programs. Being a volunteer or intern could provide you with experiences from administrative assistance and event coordination projects to social and team building programs and actual watershed and agricultural maintenance projects.
