Look who got the Best (outdoor) Internship on Earth

OUTDOOR JOBS -- A few months ago, I wrote a story for college-age students who might be interested in what the Sierra Club calls The Best Intership on Earth.

The key: You had to make a video application. 

Check out the vide above to see how Kokei Otosi responded and landed the job.

Click here to see the intern's website and follow her job in words and videos as she participats in an annual summer program uniting young adults with a passion for the environment with community outreach programs that focus on outdoor experiences.  

Kokei will travel around the country, documenting these experiences in video blogs for the Sierra Club and www.PlanetExplore.com.

Kokei will also march in the Puerto Rican Day Parade, mobilize youth at Outdoor Nation, camp with Military Family Outdoors and rock climb on the Great Lawn at the White House.

Applications for 2012 internshiip will open in the winter. Check here for info.
