This paid internship, specifically for current students at a Minority Serving Institution (MSI) or Historically Black College or University (HBCU) in Maryland or Washington, DC, will support the Alliance’s collaborative partnerships with HBCUs and MSIs throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed. This will be a six-month part-time internship beginning over the summer and continuing through November (~10 hours per week, from June 3rd through November 29th, with flexible start/end dates depending on the intern’s schedule).
The intern will work closely with the Alliance and its university partners to support the coordination efforts for the 2024 MD/DC HBCU/MSI Bay Summit, hands-on fieldwork and outdoor recreation experiences (Network Events), and the Chesapeake Bay seminar series. This may include representing student voices on the Summit Steering Committee, coordinating and facilitating student engagement at these events, and supporting the promotion of these events.
