I am interning at the Bay Institute in San Francisco which is a non-profit environmental organization that works to preserve and restore the bay environment. I will be splitting my time between the main office where all business, development, and communications activities take place. I will do office-related work here in order to learn more about how non-profits funciton and I will also be reading up on current issues and successful projects the Institute has completed. While at the office, I will also attend some staff meetings, board meetings and relevant community or other events. I will also be helping with restoration and maintenance of restored wetland areas in the bay that the Institute has planted. In addition I will shadow and work with the various scientists at TBI, including the head ecologist, working on some GIS projects and helping them to complete papers for publication.
