The Upper Deschutes Watershed Council is seeking applicants for a Spring 2024 Environmental Education Intern. Their youth education program, The Upstream Project, is committed to connecting youth to the natural world through streamside activities in art, writing, science, and outdoor exploration. The selected intern will play an active role in assisting the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council with the coordination and delivery of many aspects of The Upstream Project. The intern will work closely with the Education Director and Outreach and Education Coordinator to help deliver watershed education projects and events throughout the spring. Utilizing strong communication skills, an enthusiasm for teaching, and an interest in natural resources, the intern will have valuable opportunities to assist with a diversity of elements within the Watershed Council’s education program. Educational program delivery may include: teaching streamside learning activities, delivering classroom presentations, and developing watershed educational materials and activities. The intern will also have multiple opportunities to connect with the Children’s Forest of Central Oregon, assist with collaborative events, and network with Children’s Forest partners. The internship hours are flexible: 10 hours per week with occasional weekend and evening events.
