Recently, a White House memo temporarily paused federal funding, which impacted recruitment for some of our 2025 VetsWork and Land Stewards internships. While the memo has now been rescinded, the federal review of all federal aid continues. 

The good news: Recruitment for some of our internships has resumed! We’re also continuing to develop new positions and partnerships that will be shared as they become available.

Thank you for your patience and continued support!
