Career Shadow Day
July 23, 2026 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Free
We’re inviting 11th–12th graders and newly graduated young adults to join us for a Career Shadow Day with Cuyahoga SWCD.
Spend a day learning who we are, what we do, the career paths in conservation, and how our team found their way into this work.
We’re looking for 5–10 students or recent grads who are curious about environmental work and want an inside look at real‑world conservation careers.
The day begins at our office with an overview of Cuyahoga SWCD, who we are, what we do, and how we serve the county. Our staff will introduce participants to our four service areas: Education & Outreach, Watershed Management, Stormwater Management, and Healthy Soils & Natural Resources.
Lunch is provided, and our staff will join so participants can ask questions and get to know the team!
In the afternoon, we’ll head out for a field trip to visit several project sites, giving participants a firsthand look at the work we do and how it impacts our communities.
We plan to be back to the office by 4:00pm (time may vary)!
- Participants must sign a waiver prior to event date (parent/guardian signature).
- We will be travelling in Cuyahoga SWCD vehicles.
