"I loved working with UCRA over the summer. The internship gave me a great insight into what real office and field job looks like.
It also gave me some experience in using specialized tools, editing excel documents and attending board meetings that will be invaluable in my future career"

"Interning for the UCRA has been one of my favorite experiences to date. I gained so much field experience and made valuable connections and great memories.
The UCRA crew is fantastic, and they highly encourage hands on learning & curiosity. I could see myself doing this type of work for the rest of my life. I am so glad I took the opportunity to learn about water quality and apply some of my college education towards real world scenarios."
