Love Your River Research Intern

The Oregon Environmental Council’s Clean & Healthy Rivers Program is seeking applications for two Spring 2010 volunteer interns who will help design and launch a new outreach and education program called Love Your River.

In order to create long-term improvements in water quality, stream flows, and fish and wildlife habitat, the Love Your River education and outreach campaign will engage the public in watershed stewardship. The project will include an online educational resource and a multifaceted outreach campaign to drive homeowners, river recreationalists, and other members of the public to a new loveyourriver.org website. The campaign will reach people who generally care about rivers, and help them understand that we all live in a watershed and have a personal impact on the rivers we love. Incentives and fun information will help participants increase awareness, change behaviors, and increase involvement in watershed stewardship.

Commitment: March - May 2009 (or longer if possible) Hours: 10 - 15 hours/wk Application Deadline: March 1, 2010
