NPS has about 150 internship positions open, for between 12-52 weeks beginning in May, throughout the country and US territories. These are very competitive internships, and they cover everything that the National Park Service deals with, ranging from cultural resources to invasive species to visitor use. Eligibility varies: some are targeted to undergrads, some to upper-level undergrads or grad students, some to underrepresented groups, etc. And some do include housing in addition to the stipend. The internship I’m offering is focused on aquatic invasive species and is located in Fort Collins, CO (but has the potential to be a telework position from another location)…
