    High School InternshipsThe application form for 2024 internships will close on February 9, 2024.Through its Youth Horticultural Internship, the Conservancy engages local Yonkers youth in the restoration and stewardship of Untermyer Park and Gardens and exposes them to potential education and career pathways. The program runs in three sessions from April through October and offers paid internships to juniors and seniors who are enrolled in Yonkers public high schools. Working alongside professional gardeners, interns are introduced to fundamental principles of horticulture and environmental conservation. Interns maintain and improve various garden areas and are the primary caretakers of the new Ornamental Vegetable Garden and Orchard, participating in its full life cycle from seed to harvest.
