We are getting ready to host the second session of our Summer Youth Mapmaking Internship, our 'semi-virtual' program teaching skills in mapmaking and independent research.
Check out some outcomes from Year 1.
This self-directed summer program focuses on mapping sustainability in and around NYC. Our program is an opportunity apply what you have discovered about local assets and issues, ultimately making a Green Map focused on a neighborhood and topic of your choice. Mapping is a creative process, and you have the option of using digital or printed medium to construct a visual exploration of sustainability.
During the second week of June, Interns will meet for a 2 day training in our office. Each will work independently under the guidance of a “mapping mentor” and contribute to our blog on a weekly basis.
There will be a midway 'check in' in person, and in mid-August, we will have an exchange event where you will present your Green Map project. You can continue your work into the school year, and make it part of your senior project or thesis, depending on your educational objectives.
While this internship is unpaid, certain expenses will be covered by the Green Map office, thank to the support of Con Edison. If you hope to gain a greater understanding of your community’s sustainable network, we encourage you to apply.
The internship is open to both high school and college students. As of April 26, we have 6 confirmed participants. Our maximum is 15 people.
