At Ecology Action, we are passionately driven to empower people, businesses, and communities make simple, yet profound changes that have measurable and equitable environmental impact.

Program Information

Health and Safety - By joining the Ecology Action team, you might find yourself providing safe biking and walking lessons to elementary students, engaging farmers market attendees regarding the benefits of electric vehicles, assisting at a free bike repair event, installing drought-tolerant landscapes, or even painting temporary crosswalks and bike lanes as part of a city infrastructure planning process. Locations can depend on the program you sign up for. We have opportunities all around the Central Coast from Santa Cruz to King City, though we also do a bit of work over the hill in Santa Clara County.

We are excited to have you be part of the Ecology Action internship team. Please select all opportunities areas you are interested in. If you have any questions, contact Marisol.diaz@ecoact.org or call 831-269-2927.
