Great Lakes Education Internship for Inland Seas Education Association (ISEA)

Inland Seas Education Association (ISEA) seeks an enthusiastic individual looking to gain experience with outreach, environmental education, and public-speaking for the 2024 program season (early May through mid-August). The Great Lakes Education Intern delivers educational programming aboard traditionally rigged schooners and shoreside for people of all ages.

About the Internship

Most programs are delivered aboard our educational vessels, and include teaching activities that explore Great Lakes topics including: water quality, food web dynamics, invasive species, forage fish, zooplankton, benthic macroinvertebrates, as well as engineering practices and underwater technologies. Previous sailing experience is not necessary, though most of the work (teaching, interacting with others) will be conducted from aboard the vessels, both dockside and underway. Room and board are included as part of this internship opportunity, if needed.

Early career professionals and those wishing to transition into environmental education careers are highly encouraged to apply.
