Grant Overview
Why Alaska is a Unique Fit for Environmental Strategic Actions Internship
Alaska's distinct geography and environmental challenges make it an ideal location for the Internship to an Environmental Strategic Actions Program. The state's vast wilderness, diverse ecosystems, and natural resources require specialized management and protection. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) plays a crucial role in maintaining the state's environmental health, and this internship can provide valuable support to their efforts.
The state's frontier counties and remote communities face unique environmental challenges, such as managing waste and pollution in areas with limited infrastructure. The internship program can help address these issues by providing strategic support to DEC's initiatives. Additionally, Alaska's coastal economy and fisheries industries rely heavily on a healthy environment, making environmental protection a key economic concern.
Aligning with Alaska's Environmental Priorities
The Environmental Strategic Actions Program internship aligns with Alaska's environmental priorities, including addressing climate change, managing natural resources, and protecting public health. The Alaska Climate Change Strategy and the Statewide Solid Waste Management Plan are two key initiatives that the internship can support. By providing strategic assistance to these efforts, the intern can help Alaska address its environmental challenges and achieve its goals.
The internship can also support the state's efforts to manage its natural resources, including fisheries and wildlife. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game works to conserve and manage the state's fish and wildlife populations, and the intern can provide valuable assistance to these efforts. Furthermore, the internship can help address environmental health concerns, such as pollution and contaminated sites, which are a priority for the DEC.
Supporting Alaska's Communities and Economy

The internship can help ensure that Alaska's natural resources are managed sustainably, which is critical for the state's tourism and fisheries industries. Additionally, the internship can help address environmental issues that affect public health, particularly in rural and remote communities.
