Become a Living Arroyos intern!

Learn by doing.  Every year, a handful of college students from the local community are selected as paid restoration interns for the Living Arroyos Program.  As interns for the Program, they learn real-world stream management techniques that complement their in-class learning.  Interns are given hands-on responsibility for implementing environmental improvement projects for the City of Livermore and the Zone 7 Water Agency.  Interns also interact with and guide volunteers, gaining leadership skills and reinforcing their own knowledge by teaching others.

This internship is a paid position and is largely field-based.  Our interns work 2-4 days each week doing a variety of tasks.  Typical duties include:

• Working outdoors on multiple sites around the Livermore-Amador Valley in teams of 2-4 people under the professional leadership of a field coordinator.
• Learning and applying stream maintenance techniques.
• Implementing planting plans, maintain restoration sites, and conduct monitoring as needed.
• Training and leading groups of 10-40 volunteers.
• Working with hand tools, and equipment such as string trimmers, augers, and water trailers.
