The Urban Conservation and Education Internship is a work-study program in partnership with the National Aquarium, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Living Classrooms Foundation and the Maryland Port Administration. This internship not only promotes career development and connects those interested to career opportunities within the conservation sector, but is also helps foster a sense of environmental stewardship.

Interns will learn about the importance of conservation throughout the Chesapeake Bay region by working with staff

from the National Aquarium, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Living Classrooms Foundation and the Maryland Port

Administration. Over the course of the program, interns will participate in habitat restoration projects, assist in the

monitoring of wildlife populations and engage diverse audiences in hands-on environmental education programs. 

This eight-week internship will take place from June 5 to July 28, 2017. Typical work days are Monday through Friday, but some Saturdays may be required.

The internship is based out of the Masonville Cove campus, but work sites will not always be on campus. Transportation is provided from Masonville Cove to work sites in the greater Baltimore region.

This is an interdisciplinary program. Students of all majors are encouraged to apply.
