WERM students learn content and develop basic research skills during their first summer through hands-on projects and coursework. The summer session ends mid-August and reconvenes in mid-September.  After building on their skills at weekend workshops during the academic year, students embark on a final research project under the guidance of a science mentor for their second summer.

Wave Hill offers two courses: Restoration of NYC's Natural Areas and Mapping NYC’s Urban Environment: An Intro to GIS. We have a new partnership with the College of Mount Saint Vincent, to award students college credit for successful completion of the course(s). WERM students take both courses their first summer, while Forest Project interns take one.

We are looking for students who excel in this unique setting. While we do ask for an applicant’s transcript, we encourage all students, regardless of academic achievement, to apply if they demonstrate interest and enthusiasm. Applicants must be organized, dependable, self-motivated and willing to make the necessary time commitment.
