Announcing 2012 National Park Service George Wright Climate Change Internships

This program provides paid 12-week internships related to various aspects of climate change in national parks -- research and monitoring, communication, interpretation and education, adaptive management, mitigation, etc. The internships are for 18-25 year olds, and generally have a requirement of undergraduate academic achievement or promise.

This year we are funding 26 internships in parks and central offices all around the National Park system -- from Alaska to Florida, and New Hampshire to Guam. The internships pay $12/hour in the parks, and $14/hour in Washington DC program offices. Most internships are during the summer months, though some will occur in the fall and early winter.

Students can now apply for these positions. The project descriptions, eligibility requirements, and application
materials are available on the website of our partner, the National Council for Science and the Environment:

We are committed to recruiting and hiring talented students around the nation and are actively seeking applicants from diverse communities who historically have been under-represented in the parks and in the various disciplines represented by these internship projects.
