REEF's Marine Education & Conservation Internship provides experiences including outreach and education, data collection, non-profit operations, conservation science, event planning, graphic design, social media development, and public speaking.
During the three to four-month long internship, you will have many opportunities to volunteer with partner organizations in the Florida Keys and South Florida including environmental and conservation organizations, dive operators, local schools, and other community partners. REEF will provide you the creative environment in which you may build your portfolio and take on major projects.
Through the generous support of the REEF Oceans for All Fund, the REEF Marine Education & Conservation Internship provides housing for Interns in addition to a $200 monthly stipend.
