Moderators please move if this in not in the appropriate forum.

I recently got this in an email from Chavisa Yamchomsuan, who is with Environment for the Americas, and wanted to share it more broadly, if possible:


We’re excited to announce that the Accessible Birding Internship is open for applications again this year! This is a fantastic opportunity to join a collaborative effort between Environment for the Americas, Birdability, and the National Park Service to create inclusive bird-watching experiences.

If you know someone between the ages of 18 and 30 who is interested in birding, please share this news with them!

Attached, you’ll find promotional materials for your use. We are also hosting a Q&A session about the program on January 9th for anyone who wants to learn more. Please see the attached flyers for further details. Your support in connecting us with candidates is greatly appreciated.
