Clean Boats Crew Leaders Needed for 2013 Boating Season

The Illinois Natural History Survey, Prairie Research Institute, and the University of Illinois are hiring Clean Boats Crew site leaders again this year in time for the 2013 summer boating season.

Clean Boats Crew site leaders will work in Lake and Cook Counties, IL, and Lake and Porter Counties, IN, educating the public about aquatic invasive species and how these species are unintentionally spread. Site Leaders will manage a team of volunteers and be supervised by a program coordinator.

These positions are an excellent opportunity to gain experience while being directly involved in education and outreach to an audience that will be crucial in helping prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

The link above associated with the counties will take you to the specific position information for either Illinois or Indiana.  Applications are being accepted now until March 22.

Information about volunteer opportunities at these locations throughout the summer will be posted later this spring.
