REI Seeks Two Creative Interns

• Do you like air? Did you just find out copywriting is a thing people can do for money? Do you want to learn how to combine both of those things over the course of a three-month transformative learning experience? Also, sometimes there’s free backpacks.

• Paid internship (no college credit)
