 JOBS PROTECTING THE JERSEY SHORE ($9-14/HR) Reckless development poses a huge threat to the Jersey Shore, washing pollution and dangerous bacteria into the waters where so many New Jerseyans swim, fish, and play. As a result, shore closings have actually tripled in the past decade! Right now, we’re in a pivotal position to convince the legislature in Trenton to protect the natural areas around the shore, ensuring the preservation of these beautiful spaces for us and future generations. But without strong public pressure, our government will continue to let development go unrestricted in one of New Jersey’s most important natural resources. So we’re hiring people to get out into neighborhoods and build the public support it will take to protect our shores! We have part-time and full-time positions available. The average salary comes to $9-14/HR, and we can be fairly flexible with students’ schedules. The best way to apply is to call our office at 732-246-8128, or you can apply online at www.jobsthatmatter.org

 Internships for credit

The Department of Human Ecology has a new Spring 2013 course offering for juniors and seniors interested in hands-on internships regarding water resources, land use management and watershed management.  The Raritan Scholars course (11:374:481, 4 credits) provides opportunities for students to work directly with non-profit organizations, government agencies and others on Raritan River Basin projects that are meaningful, immediate and directly applicable to the work of the internship sponsors.  Students will spend a minimum of 125 hours on the internship, plus a journal and a one-hour class meeting per week.  This course is a great opportunity for students to get direct experience, make great contacts, and learn about how these organizations work.

This course is available BY SPECIAL PERMISSION ONLY.  Dr. Dan Van Abs, the course instructor, will provide special permission numbers to qualified students and will work with the students to ensure that each student has an appropriate internship opportunity.  Students will interview (by phone or in person) with the internship sponsor and must be accepted by the sponsor for the internship.  The purpose is to make sure that this inaugural session is a complete success for both the students and the sponsors.

Completion of this course will meet Experience-Based Education requirements for the Environmental Policy, Institutions and Behavior program.  It also meets Experience-Based Education requirements for the Environmental Science program.
