Lewis and Clark National Historical Park Summer Internship - Statistical Analysis & GIS

Environment for the Americas works to create a diverse workstaff at some of our nation's most spectacular National Parks by providing internships at National Parks, Monuments, and Historic Sites across the U.S. and territories. This internship program is designed to provide unique experiences to youth, underrepresented within the National Parks Service, who are pursuing undergraduate or graduate degrees or who have recently graduated. 

We have a statistics and GIS focused internship at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park that may be of interest to your students. I hope that you will share this opportunity with students. The paid, 10-12 week internship is a fantastic opportunity for those interested in improving their skills and working side-by-side with interpreters, scientists, and more.
