Summer Environmental Education Internship for Undergraduates

Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant supports two paid summer internship positions for undergraduates (juniors, seniors) or recent graduates interested in marine science and environmental education. The internships are offered through the Discovery Hall Programs at Dauphin Island Sea Lab on Dauphin Island, Alabama, and run from May 29-July 31, 2024. For these internships, we are particularly interested in applications from groups currently underrepresented in these fields.

Interns work with the Discovery Hall Programs' education personnel in various summer programs including summer camps for K-12 students, a residential class in marine science for high school students, workshops for educators and public outreach events.

Interns assist in all aspects of logistics, preparation and teaching during their 9-week summer program. Interns must commit for the duration of the program. These internships are a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the field of environmental education and learn about the Gulf of Mexico’s ecosystems.

These internships include a $4,000 stipend and a $500 travel allowance as well as full room and board in the Dauphin Island Sea Lab dorms. A background check and drug testing are requirements for employment. These internships are supported by the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium and the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.
