Imagine your internship duties to include watching whales and hanging out at the beach! That’s what we provide here at Blue Ocean Society! We are now accepting applications for summer and fall 2020 positions. Details of the program, including how to apply, can be found here.
Former interns have had this to say about their experience with us:
“Not only did I have an amazing and fun experience, but I’ve gained and developed valuable skills. I have improved my public speaking skills through everyday conversations with passengers and visitors, as well as presenting on my research project at our symposium. Every day was a new adventure, and it was a delight to watch passengers faces light up with every whale spotted. By the end of the summer, I grew to know certain whales, and was very proud of myself when I was able to identify the individual without the help of our naturalist.” Sydney Daniels, 2019
“I can’t even begin to say how much this internship benefited me this summer. I gained not only experience, but knowledge, and I had so much fun every single day.” Nicole Abate, 2019
“I think [this internship] gave me a really good look at many aspects of marine biology (both the education and research parts) and allowed me to explore and figure out what I am interested in. I liked the variety of work that we were able to do. I was unsure how I would like the discovery center but it ended up being very rewarding and has pushed me to consider pursuing informal education in the future.” Maeve Gualtieri Reed, 2019
“I feel like I benefited greatly from my experience in so many ways. I believe this internship allowed me to grow not only in terms of academics but also as a person. I have become more comfortable and confident speaking to people and also have gained so much knowledge. I also got to meet so many wonderful people that made my experience that much better. I want to thank all of Blue Ocean for such an amazing experience and I am so grateful to have had this internship.” Julia Thulander, 2018
With all this positive feedback, why wouldn’t you want to apply?? Already immersed in your own career? Please pass this along to any college students or recent graduates who may be interested! The whales are waiting for you!
