The Pointers Connect Internship provided by the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point gives students the opportunity to work with regional non-profit organizations like North Central Conservancy Trust (NCCT).
“I had opportunities to monitor properties, work in outreach and marketing, hear insight from board members and volunteers and help with fundraising for the annual NCCT dinner,” says Nicole Tennies who interned at NCCT last fall and now works at Cedar Lakes Conservation Foundation.
The paid internship is beneficial for both the students and the host organization. UW-Stevens Point Assistant Professor explains, “It allows students to use and learn skills to solve community and sustainability issues such as conservation land planning, and it provides $1,500 in salary reimbursement for NCCT.”
