Now Hiring Lake Tahoe Ambassadors for Summer 2026

The Lake Tahoe Ambassador Program is a paid summer internship that trains local youth to become environmental stewards and public educators for the Lake Tahoe region. Led by college-level crew leaders, Ambassadors receive hands-on training in topics like natural history, wildfire prevention, trail stewardship, species identification, and communication skills. Throughout the summer, they engage with visitors at beaches, trailheads, and visitor centers, sharing ways to recreate responsibly and protect Tahoe’s natural environment. They also model stewardship in action—picking up litter, supporting clean recreation spaces, and using citizen science tools to track observations in the field.
