[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is at brown and says it’s practically useless if you aren’t interested in consulting. Every time he’s gone to the career office, they’ve obsessed over finance and given him little prep towards a career in his interests (environmental science, sustainability), so he’s stopped going.[/quote]

My cousin is at Brown and has received excellent advice about internships.  Even with all the help he had to apply to a ton because they are competitive. He also applied for internships months or a year in advance for top ones.  Maybe your child should speak to their professors or advisor for ideas on where to apply.  Also, your child should connect with alumni and ask if there are alumni events they can attend or any alums they might connect with who are interested in interns for ES/sustainability.

Ideas:

Sierra Club
World Wildlife Fund
Woods Hole Institute (Junior Year I think)
World Resource Institute
The Nature Conservatory 
Look into sustainability start ups 
National Geographic Society 
Conservation International
One Percent For The Planet 
Jane Goodall Institute (nothing now for internships but might be later)
National Audubon 
WeForest
WildEarth Guardians

There must be some on Providence or Boston your child can apply for.  [/quote]
