What our previous interns have said:

 

GVC Intern_Bradley Cook

"GVC was my first job opportunity in the environmental field, in addition to my first leadership opportunity. The experiences that I gained during my two years working with them cemented my interest in the field and allowed me to take my first steps into becoming a leader. The GVC crew really does so much for communities in terms of both environmental stewardship and education. I can't think of a better non-profit to work for and look forward to seeing what they will do next."

Olivia Veno

"I first heard about GVC when I was a sophomore at Towson University. What has kept my interest over the past few years is that it has provided me with so many opportunities to not only learn new things but to help make a difference. I drive through Loch Raven Reservoir and see trees I helped plant 3 years ago and it is a really good feeling."
