The hourly pay starts at $15.50, and shifts range from 6 to 10 hours (depending on preference) and will all occur during daylight hours. Courtesy Boat Inspectors must possess a positive attitude to educate the boating public regarding the threats of Aquatic Invasive Species and promote Watershed Friends' mission, programs, and events as appropriate.
