Join Seaside Sustainability's Internship or Volunteer Program!

What is Seaside Sustainability:

Seaside Sustainability is a nationally recognized, award-winning 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to community engagement, public education, and environmental conservation. Seaside aims to be a leader in environmental and STEM educational programs and recognition initiatives. We help by promoting public awareness about the importance of environmental health, providing resources to develop problem-solving skills, and chances to get engaged as part of a community to take action. We organize our works and initiatives around these areas: plastic mitigation, marine citizen science, sustainability education, and solar energy in the community.

Why Intern and/or Volunteer at Seaside Sustainability:

Seaside’s internship program is hands-down one of the best in the area! With its roots firmly seated in education and hands-on learning, there is no doubt that that is why we have more than 50 interns at any given point throughout the year. 

• Our programs and initiatives encourage members of the community, young and old, to build and nurture a relationship with local land and seascapes. 

• An internship or volunteer experience at Seaside allows you to explore a myriad of opportunities, relevant to almost any future interest. 

• Join Seaside Sustainability for any season, or during breaks in your school schedule. We are looking for part-time individuals in high school, college, and beyond to work on a diverse and challenging array of projects and initiatives. 

Internship Program:

Interns at Seaside Sustainability engage in focused learning experiences where they receive guidance and resources to apply knowledge and skills to their emerging professional lives. We are looking for part-time interns in high school, college, and beyond to work a minimum of 15 hours a week for 5 month contract periods. These are unpaid internships, but our program provides flexible hours for any day of the week and time of day. Our interns all work remotely. Additionally, our interns local to the Gloucester, MA area may also have opportunities for in-person meetings and events depending on the project they are assigned to.

Volunteer Program:

Volunteers are an essential part of Seaside Sustainability. These are individuals who offer their time and services by being an active and dependable member of the team. Volunteers are asked to help in a wide range of activities to support our many departments. Unlike interns, volunteers have flexible time commitments and may be with Seaside from anywhere between 1 month to 6+ months. Volunteering with Seaside is a great way to give back to the community and make a positive impact on the world, remotely or in-person!

How to Get Involved at Seaside Sustainability:

We are accepting applications for unpaid internships and volunteers, with hours available any day of the week and practically any time of day: weekdays, weekends, and evenings included. We prefer to have our local interns work in person at the office in Gloucester, and we also invite interns and volunteers from all over the United States and internationally to apply remotely.
