Volunteer Opportunities
Master Naturalists
The Idaho Master Naturalist Program aims to develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to actively work toward stewardship of Idaho’s natural environment. Master Naturalists are those who enjoy outdoor recreation, bird watching, identifying plants and animals, gardening and supporting conservation through volunteerism.
Chapters exist in eight locations statewide. The WaterShed is a partner in the City of Trees chapter. Applications are accepted year-round and new cohorts typically begin in February of each year.
Youth Climate Action Council
The City of Boise is taking bold steps to address climate change and is bringing youth leaders to the table to help drive climate solutions. The Youth Climate Action Council is made up of diverse and dynamic students from across the city who lead action in our community and get a behind-the-scenes look at local climate action planning.
Applications for the 2022-23 cohort are now closed. Follow the link below for more information about the program.
Jobs and Internships
The WaterShed is operated by the City of Boise Public Works division. The education center typically hires part-time education interns once a year to teach lessons, lead tours and develop event activities. Opportunities are posted on the City of Boise web site.
If you’re looking for a rewarding career with Boise’s Water Renewal Services, check the City of Boise web site and search "Public Works".
We partner with local universities to provide meaningful internship experiences. If you are a university student looking for an unpaid internship, or an internship for credit, please contact us to discuss your interests and availability.
