MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS : Internships focus on providing the supports needed to successfully serve the mission of Wilderness Inquiry. An intern must be able to collaborate with a large team to implement essential functions that are integral to program success. Intern experiences will revolve around projects that relate to trip logistics, warehouse operations, trip experiences and administrative tasks. Specific experiences depend on your educational requirements and the needs of Wilderness Inquiry.

Wilderness Inquiry provides two types of intern experience-- administrative and field internships. Some interns do strictly administrative internships, some do strictly field internships, and many (most) do some of both. When working at our Minneapolis office and/or warehouse, interns typically work during our regular business hours on weekdays. At times you may also be scheduled for evening and weekend work. When working in the field, interns may work day trips or on extended trips lasting from 2 to 21 days in length.

The Physical Activity and Sport for People with Disabilities proceedings were created from the Strategic Planning  Meeting held in June at the Access Board, in Washington, DC.  The Proceedings are filled with very targeted ideas on promoting awareness of how important this issue is, advocating for physical activity across the spectrum of disabilities, developing policies that are responsive to the needs of people with disabilities, and creating resources that are helpful for program development.

In the appendix, there is a list of background information documents as well as documents pertaining to the Strategic Planning meeting.  Simply click on the title and the specific document will open for you to read online or download.
