Watershed Intern Program

Welcome to the Watershed Intern Program Website!

You are in the right place if you are interested in applying to or sponsoring summer interns committed to restoring abandoned coal mine lands that have acid mine drainage and/or other environmental concerns. We provide limited financial assistance and foster development and implementation of watershed planning.

Internships are available for college students who are currently studying in the fields of environmental and civil engineering, biological studies or other environmental-related fields and reclamation activities. Below you will find links to more details on the Internship Program and application procedures. Internships must be in the following states:

Ohio, West Virginia, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Alabama,
Maryland, Virginia, Indiana, Oklahoma, Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri

We provide grants to organizations that support college students work on watersheds affected by acid mine drainage.
