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 28-July 31, 2025. For these internships, we are particularly interested in applications from individuals currently considering a career in environmental education. The application deadline is March 1, 2025.
Discovery Hall Programs offer a variety of summer camps, classes, workshops and outreach events that provide interns with direct experience teaching, organizing, prepping and learning to lead environmental education and marine science education programs while learning about Gulf Coast habitats.
Successful candidates should be interested in marine science or environmental education and have completed a minimum of one year of biology classes. Interns live in the Sea Lab dorms and are expected to work some nights and weekends. Interns should enjoy working with people, including children, be comfortable in the water, have a valid US driver’s license and be capable of handling some strenuous physical activity, as well as Alabama’s summer heat and humidity.
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.
