5-29 FB Summer Interns

 Reclamation Recruiting Young Farmers, Ranchers for Summer Internship Opportunities available in Idaho. Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Michael L. Connor announced the establishment of a summer intern program for young people interested in ranching and farming. Reclamation teamed with the Student Conservation Association and Family Farm Alliance to establish three summer intern opportunities for youth, 18-25, interested in ranching and farming.

“Reclamation’s relationships and activities in the West have always been intertwined with ranching and farming communities,” Commissioner Connor said. “These intern opportunities will help young men and women learn more about water conservation, better preparing them for a life in agriculture.”

Here’s spokesperson Dan DuBray : “These intern opportunities are located in Idaho and Nevada and offer young people the chance to spend a summer working at Reclamation alongside hydrologists, engineers and other professionals who are on the cutting edge of water conservation in the west. The interns will be SCA volunteers. Housing will be provided along with a living allowance. Interns will be eligible for an education award of $1132-$1415, which can be used to repay qualified student loans (loans backed by the federal government), graduate or undergraduate tuition, or educational expenses for qualified enrichment courses.”
