SIP Host - Short Internship Program Host Information
Hosting a SIP Intern:
The SIP program is designed to give meaningful experience to tribal students and tribal environmental professionals, while meeting the needs of the local tribal environmental office or other agency. Host agencies will be paired with a local tribal student to work on a specific project on air quality issues or with a tribal environmental professional to work on developing an air quality education outreach program. It is expected that the host site will provide supervision and mentoring for the interns placed in their care.
We see this program as a great opportunity to build capacity in local tribal youth by building bridges to future environmental careers in their own communities.

Student Interns:
Student interns will have the opportunity to spend one or two weeks working on air quality or air quality related issues impacting on tribal nations.
There are no travel funds for students, so the interns should live close to your office. If you know a student in your area that would be interested working on tribal air quality or related issues, please provide them our contact information or have them visit our website at: www4.nau.edu/eeop/internships/sip_internship.asp . High school and college students will receive a salary of $500 per week.
Tribal Environmental Professionals:
Tribal Environmental Professionals will have the opportunity to spend one or two weeks working on education and outreach in air quality at your organization. There are no salary funds, so Tribal Environmental Professionals will need to obtain release time from their job or take personal leave. The Tribal Environmental Professionals will receive reimbursement for travel expenses
