Rumphius Foundation Internships Announced for Potomac Triangle Parks Project

  Guerrilla Gardeners of Washington DC is pleased to introduce the 2021 Rumphius Foundation Internship Program for the Potomac Triangle Parks Reclamation Project. Three young residents of Potomac Gardens and Hopkins Apartments will be selected from candidates nominated by our collaboration partners, including Brotha’s Huddle and the Resident Council, for summer-long internships. These interns will assist in the maintenance and enhancement of the recently rejuvenated landscaping of Potomac Triangle Parks and learn gardening basics from the experienced volunteer leadership of Guerrilla Gardeners of Washington DC. 


Funding for these internships comes from a grant awarded by the Rumphius Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening community, promoting education and protecting the environment. Founded in 2013 by the late Michael C. Schuller, the Foundation’s name is derived from a children’s book, Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney, in which the central character seeks to travel, live by the sea, and most importantly, to make the world a little more beautiful than how she found it. The Rumphius Foundation seeks to brighten the lives of a diverse range of people in need of a helping hand through projects that enrich groups and organizations across America, and simultaneously educate young people about sustainability and healthy living.
