2022 Summer Intern Position
The Blueberry Hill Outdoor Center is a newly formed 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to provide access to outdoor recreation for all as well as promote the conservation and sustainable use of our unique natural environment. We are located in the heart of the Green Mountain National Forest, with hiking, mountain biking, and running trails right out the back door and ready to play on!
BHOC is looking for a summer intern to assist with all aspects of running and developing our small-non profit. This position can be tailored to your skills, interest and availability. Potential room for growth to include possible year-round assistant director or winter position.

- Website updates and edits
- Donor management and fundraising
- Community partner communications and outreach
- Mapping (GIS skills are a plus!)–we are hoping to create a map of suggested biking trails in the area this upcoming summer.
- Greeting and welcoming bikers and hikers
- Maintaining food and retail areas.
- Social media and marketing
- Photography
SCHEDULE: ~25-30 hours per week with lots of timing flexibility. Ability to work at least one weekend day a week is a huge plus. Start/end dates are flexible, but June-August is ideal.
