Teaching Internships The McKeever Environmental Learning Center is administered by Slippery Rock University of PA on behalf of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. Located near Sandy Lake in Mercer County, our 205-acres provides an ideal setting for teaching about ecology and environmental responsibility. One of our trails connects McKeever to Lake Wilhelm in Goddard State Park. Our internship (either 8 or 16 weeks) provides an opportunity to develop a working knowledge of earth education programs such as Earthkeepers or Sunship Earth and other programs developed by the McKeever Center. As an intern, you will become an integral staff member organizing, teaching and delivering these exemplary day and residential programs to hundreds of school-aged children. During your stay, you will learn and live in a setting that promotes sustainability. Wind, solar and geothermal are alternative technologies used at the center. Housing is provided with features such as recycled carpets, flooring, no VOC paint, and the use of recycled materials. Along with a competitive stipend, food (approximately 60%) is provided along with free housing. A fully furnished house is equipped with wireless Internet. To apply: Visit our website at www.mckeever.org, call the center at 724.376.1000 or email us at info@mckeever.org. McKeever Environmental Learning Center 55 McKeever Lane Sandy Lake, PA 16145 |
