The Pennsylvania
Downtown Center (PDC) is interested in hiring student interns
with backgrounds in landscape architecture, landscape contracting,
geography, horticulture, city and regional planning, urban
design and environmental science for a 10-week service
learning internship this summer. Interns will help plan and implement
community-based revitalization projects in Pennsylvania. This year's projects
range from streetscape visioning to community gardens to converting a 60-acre
reclaimed mine into a community park.
PDC is working with Keep
Pennsylvania Beautiful and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society to implement
the 2008 Internship Program. Interns will receive
project-specific training and orientation in Philadelphia, professional
mentoring throughout the internship, summer housing and a $2,000
stipend or scholarship. Communities also are responsible for providing the
interns with summer housing (at no cost to the students).
