I work in the environmental field, and while I don't know anything about the CCRI program, my long-term advice would be to become involved in as many projects and internships as you can handle. It will help ALOT in both your understanding of the material and real-world applications, And help you get a job. Every regulatory agency hires interns almost year round, although more in the summer, and they usually post them in april-may. At RI DEM, something like 75% of the interns end up with full-time jobs (although I don't recommend working there long term, it's toxic af).

Thank you! I have felt so sad about these environmental disasters and I really want to be active in helping, this is something I’ve gone back and forth on forever since I have a degree that I haven’t used at all, but I’m hopeful I’ll find an internship that will lead to employment and hopefully allow me the opportunity to travel and help people/planet.
