Youth Interns

Three Native youth from the Project geographic region serve as Interns to the Project on a part-time, paid basis and help implement a wide variety of Project activities as they learn new knowledge and skills in community-based tobacco control programming. Internships are for 1 year and may be renewed annually. Interns make a commitment to the Project by entering into a learning agreement with the Project. Native youth ages 14 to 26 are welcome to apply to be Interns. Follow the link to fill out an internship application form https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TYAIntern. A project staff member will follow-up with you.
