Internship Opportunities - The Ocean Project

Hey ENST!  

Here's an interesting opportunity: The Ocean Project accepts interns year round.  While this firm is based in Providence, RI they advertise that they hire people to work virtually, so it may be possible for you to work for this firm from home in MD.  
-
The Ocean Project advances ocean conservation in partnership with zoos, aquariums, museums (ZAMs), and other institutions and organizations. We are the largest global network focused on these issues – with more than 2,000 partner organizations in 75 countries. However, we are a small organization with 2.5 FTEs, so interns get plenty of responsibility, real work experience, and great connections. We depend on bright, energetic, creative, and responsible interns to help us achieve our vision of a more sustainable society and a healthier world ocean.

We have opportunities year round for interns here at The Ocean Project. We seek creative individuals with solid communications (electronic, verbal and written) and analytical thinking skills. A marine science background is not required. Based in Providence, RI, but largely a virtual organization, we work nationally and internationally.

The Ocean Project provides opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as those who are recently graduated. Depending on the level of education and experience, we offer internships year round in our office as well as virtual positions. Based on time commitment, interns may receive a stipend and/or academic credit. Responsibilities are continually changing and also depend on the intern’s interests. Please review our website/s and our blog for an overview of what we are working on at the moment and in your application bring to our attention what you would, ideally, focus on and help us with.

If interested, submit a cover letter, resume, and brief writing sample (no more than three pages) to the address below (electronic communication preferred). Interns are accepted on a rolling basis.
