Paid Summer Jobs for the Environment

Environment Maryland is hiring students to work on our campaigns this summer in College Park. We're looking for folks that are hardworking, good communicators and committed to making positive change.

This summer our top campaign is protecting the Chesapeake Bay!

It's hard to imagine life in Maryland without the Bay-- whether it’s visiting the National Harbor, eating crabs and oysters, or taking a trip to the Eastern Shore, Maryland depends on the Bay.

Unfortunately, reckless development and other polluting industries are threatening the Bay, washing pollution and bacteria into nearby streams and marshes. In fact, over 3 million pounds of toxic waste are dumped into the Chesapeake and its connecting waterways each year. Polluting industries can get away with this uncontrolled pollution because loopholes in the Clean Water Act leave 59% of our state's rivers and streams unprotected. The US Senate will decide the fate of these waterways this summer, and we need to make sure Senator Barbara Mikulski is on the right side of the issue.

To win this campaign, we are hiring students in Maryland to get out into communities, and build support for this issue. Over the course of the summer you can expect to make between $4,000-$6,000 and make $9-$14/HR. It's a great way to build your resume, like an internship, but you get paid.
