Elakha Alliance Offers Paid Summer Internships to Tribal College Youth in Oregon

The Elakha Alliance is seeking to fill two paid Full Time Summer Internship positions for tribal youth to support the mission to reintroduce sea otters back to the Oregon coast. If necessary, we will also entertain the opportunity to hire one Full Time Summer Intern, coupled with two Part Time Summer Interns. We are seeking undergraduate students along the central Oregon coast, and southern Oregon coast who identify themselves as Indigenous.

The Elakha Alliance received funding from the Siletz Tribal Community Foundation and the Spirit Mountain Community Fund to support these Internships for tribal youth. This is a very exciting opportunity for learning and growth within the younger tribal members regarding elakhas’ (sea otters’) deeply rooted cultural ties to Oregon.
