The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management is offering signing bonuses for lifeguards who will staff state beaches this summer.
RIDEM says anyone who gets signed before June 27 will be eligible for a 500-dollar bonus if they work through Labor Day.
Officials are hoping to hire between 120 and 150 lifeguards this year.
Applicants must be at least 16-years-old to work for the state.
