“Overall, my expectations have been exceeded. I have been so impressed with how thoughtfully and intentionally you have fostered a learning environment, and it has made me feel excited, engaged, and motivated. I have heard from so many people about how internships are often about busy work that feels meaningless, and I am thrilled to say that my experience so far at Environment America has been exactly the opposite. I feel like I am learning so much, I am proud of what I am doing, and I am excited to use the skills I am gaining now and in the future.”

Chloe Cruger is a senior at the University of California – Santa Barbara majoring in Environmental Studies and minoring in Professional Writing for Civic Engagement. She is also involved with the Waste Committee of UCSB’s Gauchos Go Green. Chloe completed a virtual internship working to save monarch butterflies in summer 2024.
