COOSA RIVERKEEPER
Summer intern / Environmental Technician


8 Seasonal Positions Available
2024 Summer Season Job Description

WHO WE ARE: Coosa Riverkeeper is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in the Coosa River watershed
with an office in Mt. Laurel, AL. We work to protect, restore, and promote the Coosa River and its tributaries in
Alabama. Working in over 5,000 square miles of Alabama with 220 miles of the Coosa River, our three programs
work to improve water quality and protect public health. We do this by patrolling the waters, educating the public,
and advocating for the river and its users. To learn more about our work, please visit CoosaRiver.org!
 

WHAT IS SWIM GUIDE & FISH GUIDE? The Coosa River Swim Guide is a weekly bacteriological monitoring program that answers the simple question, “Is
it safe to swim?” Jumping into your favorite swimming hole during the summer should be the easiest decision you
make all year. That’s why we dedicate our Thursdays & Fridays from Memorial Day until Labor Day to test water
quality at the Coosa’s most popular places to swim! Because, no one should have to gamble with their health when
it comes to splashing in the river. Through this program, we protect public health, execute best practices in the
field and in the lab, and improve water quality--- all while having a good time!


Fish Guide is a program which seeks to answer the question,“are fish safe to eat?” Every major river in Alabama
has at least one fish consumption advisory, as determined by the Alabama Department of Public Health. These
advisories warn folks to limit or stop consumption of specific fish from specific locations due to known
contaminants. Fish Guide is designed to engage and educate anglers about selecting and consuming fish safely. A
major tenant of the program is the Coosa River Angler Survey, where folks can tell us a little bit about how they
like to fish along with their knowledge of fish consumption advisories and pollution. This is crucial information so
we can better serve folks and protect public health.

Monday – Thursday, 8:00 – 4:30
Location: State House, Montgomery, AL
Unpaid for College Credit (Credit to be coordinated between the student and the University with assistance from LSA)

If you are looking for an internship that will give you the chance to network with state leaders, hone your knowledge of the state legislative process, AND provide you with an excellent opportunity to grow personally, the Alabama Legislative Internship Program might be what you are looking for. This internship is an immersive experience held in the spring of each year when the Alabama Legislature is in session. The purpose of the internship is to expose college students to the legislative process. Interns are assigned to either a group of Senators or to several House committees—all located in the State House in Montgomery, Alabama. They assist committee clerks with committee preparation and attend all assigned committees. Interns perform non-legal research for legislative members and assist with constituent services. Observation of the legislative process is emphasized and when the legislature is in session (most Tuesdays and Thursdays), interns are often in the House chamber or Senate gallery observing the process in action.

The 2022 Legislative Internship Program will open with an orientation session a few days prior to the beginning of the 2022 Legislative Session. The internship begins on January 5, 2022 and ends April 25, 2022 (or whenever the legislature adjourns if sooner). Again, all interns are placed in the State House in Montgomery, Alabama. The hours are Monday – Thursday, 8:00 – 4:30. While not required, interns are encouraged to take advantage of any days when the legislators stay late to conduct business so that they can get the “full flavor” of the legislative process. In addition to the above, interns submit weekly journal entries to the internship coordinator (and to their college professors if receiving college credit). Resume work and mock interviews are available upon request.

This internship is unpaid; however, college credit is given by most colleges/universities in the state for the experience. (Several universities give a full 12 hours). Each student works with his/her own university with support provided by the Law Institute to provide all required evaluations and documentation needed for credit. We do have many December graduates who participate as well.

To Apply: Go to the Legislative Services Agency website: www.lsa.state.al.us Click on Law Institute and follow the internship link. 2022 applications will be on the website by late July. DOWNLOAD, complete, save per application instructions, and e-mail to tnorman@lsa.state.al.us. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis with a preferred deadline of October 1, 2021. Questions?

Technical proficiencies: Office software, photography and/or illustration software, social media, typing. Personal Traits: Candidate should be outgoing and able to manage their time well, while working remotely.
