This is a unique opportunity to gain an inside view of Wood Rodgers, a

afraid to ask questions of others, and to push the bar a little higher.
Our Urban Planners in Sacramento prepare master plans for new communities,
specific plan documents, conceptual site plans, tentative subdivision maps,
and coordinate with clients and project team members to process land use
entitlements and approvals. Our Landscape Architecture Group in Sacramento
plays a key role in the conceptual design of projects, master plans,

this effort and have the opportunity to learn.
Our preference is toward students that have completed their junior year and
are clearly committed to getting their degree and seeking a career in the
profession. The best candidates will have strong communication skills:
graphic, written, and verbal. Some capability with AutoCAD, Illustrator,
Photoshop, Word, Excel, GIS and other applications is a plus. We also want
our interns to be from the Sacramento or Pleasanton area, or to have family
in the area so that they will have a reasonable and secure living situation.
The Summer Internship is a paid position, between 4 or 5 days a week
depending on workload, lasting from approximately mid-June to early
September. We are flexible, but timeframe is generally 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.
Because this is a temporary position it will not provide any medical or other
benefits. Please email a PDF of your one-page resume and a one-page cover
letter to Timothy Denham at tdenham@woodrodgers.com. You can also provide a
PDF (less than 2 MB) of up to five pages of work examples, or you can provide

About the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust
The Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust creates change by supporting
low-income communities of color to more effectively realize their power and
influence over the use of land. We work with residents to increase
communities’ access to parks and gardens, while organizing to change local
policies to develop more equitable park and food systems for generations to
come. We believe that this work is necessary to overcome decades of
disinvestment, racism, and environmental injustice in low-income communities of color and that no person in LA County should live without a safe park or access to fresh, healthy food. As a community-based non-profit land owner, developer, and steward for safe public space, we work with residents from design to stewardship. We meet our goals by:
Designing, building and managing urban parks and gardens;

advocates for park equity and food justice through programming, training, and
technical assistance.

stakeholders to advance our project and policy work.

eight in our active development pipeline. We take pride in innovative and
challenging work which makes change a part of our regular work day life. You

agencies, elected officials, funders, regulatory agencies, and consultants to

community vision and feedback. The Project Manager reports to the Director of
Special Projects and is given a high level of autonomy and accountability for
a project’s costs, timeline, design, management of consultants and
contractors, compliance with public and private funding programs and
construction oversight. The PM typically works in close coordination with
LANLT team members, including the Community Organizing, Stewardship,
Fundraising, and Operations teams. The Land Trust currently employs two
Project Managers, who often leverage each other strengths when challenges
arise.
