The Waterkeeper Alliance Internship Program

internship

The Waterkeeper Alliance Internship Program is an exciting opportunity for undergraduate, graduate, and law school students looking to gain experience working in a fast-growing grassroots environmental nonprofit organization. Interns have the chance to learn what it is like to work in an environmental nonprofit setting while focusing on specific projects and initiatives in various departments. Interns work under the supervision of staff members to further the Waterkeeper Alliance mission of protecting drinkable, fishable, swimmable water worldwide.

Waterkeeper Alliance has no open internship positions at this time. We encourage you to consider joining us in the fall or spring semesters. Please check back in August for new internship opportunities.

“The internship at Waterkeeper Alliance was a valuable asset to my education, since it provided me with the training and knowledge a traditional classroom setting is unable to provide. I was able to observe how an environmental non-profit organization operates, the various tasks each employee has on a daily basis, and how the organization accomplished its goals, dealt with difficulties, and communicated with the hundreds of Waterkeeper organizations.” – Nicole Pidala, University of Vermont

“Interning at Waterkeeper Alliance was a great way to experience what it is like to be an environmental lawyer.” – Philana Potter, Pace Law School
