Today there is an increased demand for knowledgeable, experienced professionals who understand the complex relationships between environmental, social, and economic issues. Since 1996, 316 Warren Wilson students have taken advantage of internship opportunities provided by Warren Wilson's Environmental Leadership Center (ELC). Through these experiences, students emerge inspired and ready to fill roles in environmental, social, and non-profit/business fields. The goal of the ELC Internship Program is to prepare students for careers through rigorous and meaningful internship experiences.
