The Center for ReSource Conservation (CRC) was founded in 1976 by a group of community-minded citizens seeking ways to help reduce our dependence on non-renewable resources.  CRC is a community nonprofit that puts conservation into action. Our goals are to tackle conservation issues in our community, to provide accessible and affordable conservation solutions, and to reduce the environmental impacts associated with non-sustainable practices.  In collaboration with local and regional municipalities, and with support from individual donors and foundations, CRC programs empower 65,000 community members annually with impactful and practical ways to conserve resources.  CRC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates as a social enterprise.

The Communications and Marketing Intern for Water Programs is responsible for assisting CRC staff with a variety of grassroots marketing, communications, and outreach efforts for the Garden In A Box Program and Water-Wise Seminars as well as an assortment of administrative tasks.
