Meet MAalik

For Maalik, the chance to make friends, learn about the environment, and earn money working outdoors seemed like a great way to spend 3 weeks.

Following in his brother’s footsteps, Maalik joined our On-Site program in West Virginia in 2019 and in Wyoming in 2022, from Detroit, MI.

Now, Maalik is studying at East Tennessee State University and has served in our college intern program in pursuit of an environmental career.

Building Community

“The things that interested me was the opportunity to meet new people and learn new outdoor skills. The crew members work so well with the crew leaders; it’s like we connected so fast and it feels like family.” - Matthew W. (Superior NF)

Exploring careers

“My time was a real eye-opener to the possibilities there are in the environmental science field. Before this, I was unsure if I wanted to pursue a career in environmental science but the program solidified my decision to want to pursue this career.” - Jenesis S.

Transforming lives

“The experience was incredibly enriching and fulfilling. Being able to contribute to real-world environmental issues, such as raising awareness about wildfires in Southern California, was particularly rewarding. This program not only strengthened my skills and knowledge but also deepened my passion for environmental science, making me eager to participate again and continue making a positive impact.”

- Jawaad M. (Virtual)
