internships?

<p>So yeah, I know it's a bit too late to start thinking about this (in my defense I was an alternate at a govschool and thought I had a good chance in getting in).
Anyways, I'm new to the process of finding and applying for internships. So are there any ideas for starting now? I'm going on the enviromental route if that helps (so I'd there are any specific organisations you guys know of). I'd rather take a research internship but, knowing its a bit late, I'm also open to just randomly helping out an organization. </p>

<p>Oh yeah and I'm a rising junior but so not turn 16 till after school starts. </p>

<p>It would also be helpful if someone could explain the process of finding and applying for internships. Thanks so much! </p>
