Valley Water’s Office of Civic Engagement is seeking college-level interns eager to work alongside the Education Outreach team to deliver dynamic, hands-on lessons to K-12 students.
Each year, Education Outreach engages over 15,000 students, teachers and members of the public in learning about water and Valley Water’s role in Santa Clara County. Our classroom and tour programs engage students in hands-on learning to promote water conservation, watershed stewardship, pollution reduction and flood awareness.
