Emerald Keepers is pleased to announce selection of twelve interns for Spring 2022: Abigail Pearson, Bailey Manion,Cate Gregory, Dana Jennings, Daniela Finch, Emily Kuite, Jackie Reyes, Jesse Hill, Mia Gabriel, Sienna Pearson, Sydney Flanagan, and Zoe Quast.

All interns will work in collaboration with Emerald Keepers Board of Directors. Not only do interns gain work experience to include on college applications, resumes, and job applications, they also earn Coronado High School Internship Work Experience elective credits toward graduation requirements.

“I am thrilled with our interns. They are all passionate about the environment and highly motivated,” said Emerald Keepers president, Amy Steward. 

Emerald Keepers hosted an orientation lunch in the Winn Room last week for the interns. In addition to their work in the garden and compost, they will help facilitate programs and assist with events. One intern has already begun working on TikToks for social media while two more are working to establish Emerald Green, Ocean Blue Classrooms similar to Emerald Keepers’ restaurant program. All interns are required to work 20 hours during the semester.
