REEF Marine Education & Conservation Internship Program

REEF's Marine Education & Conservation Internship Program offers participants opportunities to gain hands-on experience in outreach and education, guest engagement, non-profit operations, conservation science, event planning, graphic design, social media development, and public speaking. REEF Marine Education & Conservation Interns will work closely with staff, fellows, and volunteers to impliment REEF programming, engage with members of the public, and support operations throughout the organization. Interns will also be key members of the Ocean Exploration Center, gaining skills in guest engagement, education development, and interpretation. 

During the three to four-month-long internship, interns have many opportunities to volunteer with partner organizations in the Florida Keys and South Florida, including environmental and conservation organizations, dive operators, local schools, and other community partners. The program provides a collaborative and creative environment for interns to build their portfolios and contribute to meaningful marine conservation and education projects.

Through the generous support of the REEF Oceans for All Fund, the REEF Marine Education & Conservation Internship provides housing for Interns in addition to a $400 monthly stipend.
