Watershed Alliance\u00a0aims to increase awareness and knowledge of watershed issues in the Lake Champlain Basin (both in NY and VT).\u00a0Each spring and fall we hire a cohort of undergraduate students, known as Watershed Educators, who are actively looking to gain experience educating K-12 students about water resources and watershed education. Watershed Educators receive training in stream ecology, lake ecology, watershed science\u00a0and teaching science as inquiry. They learn important group management skills that are applicable both in the field and classroom. These skills are then used to teach K-12 students about our watershed out on our research vessel, at local stream\u00a0sites, or in classrooms across the state (mileage is reimbursed for travel).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watershed Educators are expected to work approximately 50 hours per semester<\/em>. Internship hours are typically Monday through Friday between the hours of 8am – 4pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall Season:<\/strong> late August (start of academic year) to early November <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spring Season: <\/strong>late February\/early March until the end of the academic semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
*Multiple semester internships are encouraged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Options for employment: 1-2 credits worth of internship credits or $15 per\/HR. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
