2025 Summer Environmental Education Internship

Deadline to apply is March 1, 2025.

Discovery Hall Programs (DHP) offers two paid summer internship positions for undergraduates (junior, senior) or recent graduates interested in environmental education and marine science. DHP is particularly interested in applications from individuals currently underrepresented in the marine science and environmental education workforce.

Interns work with DHP’s education faculty in our 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. 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.

Interns assist in all aspects of logistics, preparation, and teaching during our summer program. Interns must commit for the duration of the 9-week session. The internship includes a $4,000 stipend and a $500 travel allowance as well as full room and board in DISL 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.
