The Codorus Creek Improvement Partnership (CCIP) is a community-based, non-profit, environmental organization dedicated to restoring the Codorus Creek and other local water bodies to a condition that creates safe, healthy, enjoyable, prosperous, and sustainable communities for everyone. The CCIP believes that our community’s physical health, mental health, spiritual well being, future prosperity, and sustainability should be our highest priorities.

Majors which would best fit the internship include: Biology, Chemistry, Marketing, Public Relations, and Social Work, but we are open to others who may be interested in non-profit or service industries. The internship is not paid; however, there are many opportunities to receive excellent practical experience.
