Sea Turtle Utility Worker - Little St. Simons Island

Seasonal, Temporary, Internship
Little St. Simons Island, GA

Little St. Simons Island Background:
Little St. Simons Island, Georgia, is an 11,000-acre private barrier island that is preserved in perpetuity through a conservation easement. The island is home to The Lodge, an immersive vacation destination for no more than 32 overnight guests, and the Center for Coastal Conservation, a collaborative effort advancing conservation on the Island and throughout coastal Georgia. The position is live-on, and the island is only accessible by boat (we run a ferry daily). Housing is provided on-site, but we cannot accommodate partners or children. The conservation easement on the property prohibits bringing animals onto the island, so pets are not allowed.
