Guadalupe River Park Conservancy is looking for an enthusiastic, passionate individual interested in water quality monitoring. You don't need experience... we'll train you! All you need is interest and a willingness to learn. The intern will be responsible for weekly water quality testing, data entry of water quality results, and formatting the information gathered to share it with the public and partner organizations.

This is a long-term commitment. Please only apply if you are able to commit to weekly shifts until at least July 2020. You must be available for a 1-2 hour shift at a time of your choosing between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday. Weekend shifts are not available. Working remotely is not possible for this position.

Special items to consider are that interns may need to lift 20 lbs occasionally, be able to stand up/reach down for extended periods of time, be able to walk across the street and back, and be able to work independently and with minimal direction.

Our ideal candidate would be someone who has some experience with any of the following:

• water quality testing (minimal and basic tests)
• nature monitoring
• plant and animal identification
• data recording

The volunteer should be detail-oriented, passionate about the environment, and willing to learn and help others to do so. We would also love to have someone who is enthusiastic and positive to complement our current volunteer and staff teams.
