Elizabeth Brown was ShoreRivers’ 2015-2016 Chesapeake Conservation Corps Volunteer. She was dedicated to clean water, engaging others with their rivers, and serving as an environmental steward in every way. She brought enthusiasm and joy to every task. Contributions in honor of Elizabeth go toward her legacy of caring for local rivers by supporting the next generation of environmental stewards through the Elizabeth Brown Memorial Internship.
ShoreRivers seeks applicants for an exciting, hands-on summer internship experience in the environmental field, based out of our Easton, MD office. This internship program is supported by the Elizabeth Brown Memorial Fund.
Note: If you are a Washington College or University of Delaware student, please see our other internship opportunities.
ShoreRivers is a nonprofit organization that protects Maryland’s Eastern Shore waterways through science-based advocacy, restoration, education, and engagement. With offices in Easton, Chestertown, and Galena, MD, the organization serves as an advocate for the health of our rivers and the living resources they support. Our programs promote environmental awareness of the essential role local rivers and streams play in the community, the issues that threaten their health and vitality, and solutions that must be implemented to preserve them.
The summer intern will provide programmatic support for our Midshore region and participate in a variety of activities including restoration, water quality monitoring, outreach, and education. By the end of the program the intern will have completed a Maryland boater safety certificate, become familiar with handling a boat, gained experience and training in scientific water quality monitoring equipment and protocols, and developed a variety of other skills and experiences.
