Long Island Aquarium Internship Description
Long Island Aquarium (LIA) offers internship opportunities with
the Aquarium’s education department. Interns are teamed up
with an education staff member who will act as a mentor
throughout the internship experience. All high school students
work with the public at the interactive touch tanks. Students
interested in developing public speaking skills are encouraged to
learn any or all talks and lectures done at certain exhibits during
operating hours. Students may work on lesson plans for LIA’s
early childhood programs, family or school programs. The
internship is done on weekends (either Saturday or Sunday) and
you must be able to commit at least four hours. Transportation
is the responsibility of the intern. Students must submit a
resume, a letter of interest explaining why they would like to
intern at LIA, the LIA internship application, and a letter of
recommendation from a teacher, guidance counselor, or school
administrator.
