Environmental Water Internship
The Environmental Water Internship Program is a paid technical skills training program that supports communities and individuals in strengthening their involvement in and management of water and fish resources. The internship is designed to bring training opportunities into the community in a way that is supportive, relevant and respectful.
It provides paid internships to local participants to develop technical and professional employability skills and achieve certifications to work in water and fish resource management, as well as a paid coordinator position. Interns use project-based learning to develop those skills while gathering real data in their home community.
The program has two main stages: the Planning & Engagement stage, and the Training Program
Phase 1 – Planning & Engagement

- Community engagement information sessions
- Identification of community environmental priorities to inform project – based learning
Phase 2 – Training Program

Water Pioneers – STEM program
BlueServ will operate a STEM program for youth from challenged communities on the elements of water science, a diverse curriculum of environmental issues including geography and the watershed. Our programs, designed for K-12 students, include multiple hands-on STEM workshops that explore custom curricular and local water science concepts. As we stated our programs will cover Environmental water as well as Drinking Water.
Examples of STEM school-based programs include the following:
A. STEM School programs – Practical, hands-on STEM workshops that
explore a variety of water science and other environmental concepts.
B. Water Fest – Quarterly events held with curriculum based half or full day
programming that engages students to interact with an array of STEM
activities. Activities include water and STEM stations, experiments,
contests, team exercises and demonstrations.
C. Water camps day field trips to rivers, lakes and streams.
