Discovery Hall Programs (DHP) has two 9 week summer internship positions available for an undergraduate (sophomore, junior, senior) or recent graduate currently considering a career in environmental education.

Interns work with DHP's education personnel in our many different summer programs including summer camps for K-12 students, our residential class in marine science for high school students, teacher workshops and public outreach events. Interns assist in all aspects of logistics, preparation, and teaching.  This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the field of environmental, STEM, outdoor or science education and learn about the Gulf ecosystems.

The internship includes a $4,000 stipend and a $500 travel allowance as well as full room and board in DISL dorms. A background check and drug testing are requirements for employment. These internships are supported by the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium and the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.

Successful candidates should be interested in marine science or environmental education and have completed a minimum of one year of biology or education classes. Interns live in the Sea Lab dorms and are expected to work some nights and weekends. Interns should enjoy working with people, including children, be comfortable in the water, have a valid US driver's license, and be capable of handling some strenuous physical activity, as well as Alabama's summer heat and humidity.
