Interns support REEF’s educational programming and general
operations from the REEF Campus in Key Largo, Florida. The REEF
Campus, with an Interpretive Center and nature trails, serves as an
educational center for visitors and groups. It is also the
Headquarters for supporting a membership of over 75,000 individuals
who engage in REEF’s international citizen science and education
programs.
Marine Conservation Interns gain leadership experience and
participate in citizen science, community outreach, and education.
They learn about partnership development, non-profit operations, donor
relations, communications, marketing and promotions, data management,
event planning, and public speaking. In their free time, they have
ample opportunities to enjoy all that the Florida Keys have to offer,
including diving, snorkeling, kayaking, as well as interfacing with
other non-profits and government agencies in the area.
REEF provides housing and a $200 monthly stipend to each Marine
Conservation Intern. Participants are required to have reliable
transportation and must have completed at least two years of
undergraduate work. Successful applicants are detail-oriented with
strong organizational skills, and are able to work in a diverse and
collaborative team across multiple disciplines. A strong interest in
ocean life, marine conservation, citizen science, and diving is a
plus. Participants from disciplines outside marine science are
encouraged to apply. The Marine Conservation Internship is open to
applicants in the US and abroad. International applicants are
responsible for securing any necessary travel documents.
