Environmental Internship Program
About the Organization
Reflo is a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Milwaukee, Wis., aiming to catalyze sustainable water use, green infrastructure, and equitable water resource management that supports triple-bottom-line outcomes grounded in strong partner relationships. This is accomplished through education, research, and implementation of water projects that are valuable for individuals, local communities, and the organizations that support them. Reflo believes that green infrastructure design and water management is about more than just decreasing the impacts of stormwater. It is also an opportunity to create meaningful spaces that enhance urban life and provide a better education for the next generation, grounded in problem-solving, creativity, and working together.
About the Youth Program
Reflo has created an exciting program that offers experiential learning and personal growth opportunities related to the environment, climate education and justice, and sustainability for youth attending Milwaukee-area high schools. Our two internship opportunities include a School Year session and a Summer session. Reflo’s internship sessions were developed to offer experiential learning and personal growth opportunities related to the environment, climate education and justice, and sustainability for youth attending Milwaukee-area high schools. The interns are given a space to come together to learn and apply their knowledge toward a fun and exciting green initiative. Over the school year, the interns put in place a project they are passionate about for their school and community. In the summer, all learning is then applied and supported by various activities throughout the program, including green infrastructure maintenance present at a number of projects off-site.
