The Watershed Project Internship Program

The Watershed Project's Internship Program offers talented undergraduates, graduates, and beginning professionals hands-on work experience and specialized training in the fields of non-profit management and operations, environmental education, marketing and communications, and watershed program management. Interns will work under the guidance of our professional staff and will have the chance to contribute directly to meaningful and exciting projects, learn new skills, and gain valuable experience working for a well-respected and growing non-profit.

Our internship program is designed to provide the maximum educational benefit to participants by placing interns in positions that fit their professional interests and skill-sets. We welcome individuals with a variety of backgrounds to apply. We especially seek interns who have been directly involved in environmental work and have a demonstrated commitment to watershed and community stewardship.

Practical details:
The Watershed Project internships are unpaid; however, we are happy to help you receive academic credit for your work. In some cases, we are able to provide certification in a variety of EPA protocols. Hours and internship length are flexible to your schedule. All internships will be based out of our office on the lovely UC Berkeley Richmond Field Station, which is right on the San Francisco Bay. Travel expenses to and from project sites will be reimbursed by The Watershed Project.
