Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant: Now hiring four interns for summer 2025

The Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant (IISG) Summer Internship Program provides undergraduate students opportunities to help address issues impacting coastal communities through social and environmental conservation sciences. Through this program, IISG’s interns will gain knowledge and skills of practices that help Lake Michigan coastal communities make more informed decisions about resource management and everyday activities. These paid internships may include research, communications, and/or outreach activities. Applicants may have the opportunity to participate in activities (e.g., attending a professional conference) outside of their specific internship duties.

As part of this program, IISG includes required professional development trainings. Over the course of their employment, all interns will participate in professional development opportunities that will require an average of one hour per week, or approximately eight hours altogether; one or more of the opportunities may take more than one hour, so in some weeks, no opportunities will be offered.

In 2025, IISG is hiring an intern in each of the following four areas:

Green Stormwater Infrastructure

Microplastics Outreach

Sustainable Communities

Youth Education

As part of the intern program, IISG includes required professional development trainings. Throughout their employment, the interns will participate in these opportunities, which will add up to approximately eight hours, or one hour per week; some sessions may take more than an hour, so in some weeks, no training will be offered.
