2026 Jamaica Bay Wetlands Fellowship

JBRPC is seeking individuals for the Jamaica Bay Wetlands Fellowship, a paid 6-month workforce development and job training program for young adults (ages 18–25) focused on skills related to wetlands maintenance, monitoring, and restoration. Fellows will work as part of a team to preserve fragile shoreline ecosystems by maintaining nature-based restoration efforts in Jamaica Bay. The program will be based at Floyd Bennett Field within Gateway National Recreation Area with projects taking place in city, state, and national park jurisdictions around Jamaica Bay and the Rockaways. Fellows will also participate in a series of professional development educational activities, panel discussions, and other experiences to gain knowledge of key challenges and opportunities for nature-based solutions, wetlands assessment criteria and indicators, and valuable hands-on experience restoring one of NYC’s and the region’s most important and dynamic ecosystems –Jamaica Bay.
