Career Days

Every school year COMPACT works with the Middle Schools to organize Career Day at each campus. Professionals from various fields speak to students about their career experiences and how to be successful.

Conservation Fellows

A local fellowship program for Escondido students. This fellowship provides students with real world experience working in STEM fields involved with conservation work. As part of the programs, students will work with professionals and mentors to design a restoration proposal for the Escondido Creek Channel.

Internships

Students interns must commit for at least one semester working under the supervision of program coordinators in one of the categories below. Duties may vary and include one or more programs in each category. At this time, internships are not paid.

Adult interns commitment varies on a case by case basis. Please contact us for more information.

Internships are assigned by categories and you may be assigned to support one or programs within that category.

***Due to the nature of program scheduling and target population, preference may be given to interns available in the afternoon/evening time (2 PM +)
