Whitman Internships
The Whitman Internship Grant (WIG) is a student-driven competitive grant that provides students with funding for unpaid internship opportunities. Internships can take place at non-profit organizations, some for-profit organizations, and government or public offices. The funds for the Whitman Internship Grant program are allocated
by Career and Community College Engagement Center based on review of student applications. Each selected recipient will receive funding to participate in a semester or summer internship.
Agricultural Internships
Experience International is an educational, non-profit, international exchange program based in Bellingham, WA. We sponsor professionals and students from abroad for hands-on internships and trainings in the U.S. through the Department of State’s J-1 Exchange Visitor (Bridge USA) program and have been doing so since 1989. Here is the link to our website’s hosting info: Hosting Webpage. Hosts can also source their own international applicants if they wish. All foreign interns must have a U.S. sponsor organization like us in order to work/train in the U.S. We are passionate about the benefits of cultural and educational exchanges and love what we do!
AgForestry has partnered with Experience International to assist with planning for several of our International Seminars.
Network Benefits
WHY SHOULD I BECOME A MEMBER?
Northwest families live, work and play in our vast coastal areas, open spaces, scenic mountain passes, and rivers, and enjoy all the recreational wonders the Northwest has to offer. This often remote environment can place residents and visitors at risk when they need immediate and specific medical attention, whether it is a pediatric medical emergency, heart attack, stroke or accident. Life Flight Network can quickly dispatch a specialized emergency health care team to an accident or medical emergency to provide critical care life support and accompany the patient on a swift flight to a medically appropriate facility.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP?
Depending upon the distance, air medical transport and patient care charges can quickly exceed $15,000. If you or a covered family member are flown by Life Flight Network or one of its reciprocal partners under a medically necessary emergency air transport, Life Flight Network will accept an insurance settlement (if any) as payment in full, and you will have no out-of-pocket expenses. We bill your insurance company directly for the medical transport, so you will not pay any deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses beyond your membership fee.
AM I COVERED OUTSIDE THE LIFE FLIGHT NETWORK SERVICE AREA?
Whether in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Northern Nevada, or Northern California, you may be covered if transported by a reciprocal provider, subject to the reciprocating program’s membership rules. Please refer to our website for the most up-to-date list of reciprocal partners.
For more information please contact Life Flight Membership at 800-982-9233
