Henry's Fork Foundation Internship Fellowship

This past summer, I served as the Fundraising and Outreach Intern at the Henry's Fork Foundation (HFF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving, protecting, and restoring the unique fisheries of the Henry's Fork River and upper Snake Basin. During my time there, I gained a deep understanding of water irrigation and management practices, as well as key concerns related to the local ecosystem and river health.

This summer I had the opportunity to work in the Henry's Fork Foundation's field work internship, with the generous support of St. Lawrence's Center for Career Excellence. The Henry's Fork Foundation (HFF) is a fishery conservation organization based out of Ashton Idaho working to protect trout populations in the Upper Snake River Basin, which is one of the most popular fly fishing destinations in the world. As the field work intern, my job entailed a lot of problem solving and manual labor.

I am incredibly grateful that this past summer I was working with Kamberlee Allison as my mentor at the Henry Forks Foundation. I conducted a comprehensive review of the internship program at HFF, reviewing and producing an analysis of the internship program's outcomes for my independent project. I gained skills and knowledge around research, outreach, and networking through my IP which will not only help me work in non-profits in the future but one day hopefully run my own! On campus, I am involved in Advocates, Planned Parenthood Generation Action, and the Title Nine Coalition.
