The Chesapeake Bay Internship Program (CBIP) develops the next generation of impactful environmental leaders by forming a connected cohort of interns working for organizations across the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
The CBIP builds community and supports professional growth through mentorship, professional development, and networking. Interns will participate in a shared orientation, educational workshops, end-of-summer symposium, and cohort meet-ups. These experiences are designed to complement the internship work completed with the host organization and give interns a deeper look into how science, policy, education, and action come together to support Bay health.
The Chesapeake Research Consortium (CRC) partners with organizations across the watershed that host their own internships, advertised below. Students apply for internship opportunities directly through the host organizations. Once hired, interns from partner organizations automatically become part of the CBIP cohort, joining peers from other Bay-focused groups. Through shared programming, mentorship, and networking, interns gain support, skills, and a sense of community that strengthen their impact and connection to the Chesapeake Bay.
We will post a complete list of internship opportunities from participating partner organizations for Summer 2026 here as they become available. Applicants should follow the links to consult individual host organizations directly for information, points of contact, applications, and deadlines.
