The River Project (TRP) is a marine science field station at Pier 40, on Manhattan's lower west side. TRP was founded in 1986 and works to protect and restore the Hudson River ecosystem through scientific research and environmental education. The River Project has also established an experimental facility to help restore an ecologically-stressed habitat along the Manhattan shoreline. Field trips, internships, membership, and volunteer opportunities are offered.
The River Project is looking for summer interns with strong interests in science and environmental education. Interns will participate in environmental science research projects under the supervision of The River Project staff, with guidance from professional researchers who are recognized experts in their fields. We are looking for interns specifically interested in environmental education to assist with our field trip programs and educational activities. Internships will generally be two to four days per week, depending on the times of scheduled field trips.
All applicants should be willing and excited to work with groups of students from kindergarten through college level. No previous experience is required, only a willingness to actively learn and participate.
