Interns will gain valuable experience in the fields of environmental education and interpretation. Interns will also be introduced to the policies, procedures, and career paths within the National Park Service. Internships in the National Park Service bolster student skills and experience, and are designed to be stepping stones to careers within the agency or similar workforce. Sleeping Bear Dunes' interns will work, live, and play in beautiful northwest Michigan. Work includes presenting curriculum-based lessons and activities on topics such as winter ecology, animal adaptations, snow science, and National Park Service mission and history. Interns will also assist in leading snowshoe hikes for 3rd-5th graders and for the general public. Interns will create and post content on the park’s social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. The internship time period is early January to mid-March with the opportunity for extension based on student academic requirement needs. Typical work schedule is 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. Interns receive a stipend of $20 per day, government housing, plus a volunteer uniform. Interns are required to provide their own snow/rain pants and waterproof boots. Snowshoes will be available for the interns to use during educational and interpretive programs. Snowshoeing experience is not necessary; however the interns must be physically capable of snowshoeing up to several miles per day, five days a week. I have attached a PDF with more details of the position and application instructions. The application period is open until Nov. 2nd, 2018. Please pass this information along to those who may be interested in this announcement. Thank you, Emily Sunblade Education Technician Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore 231-326-4735
