National Park Service's Mosaics in Science Internship Program 

  • The Mosaics in Science Internship Program provides youth that are under-represented in natural resource science career fields with on-the-ground, science-based, work experience with the National Park Service. The program provides interns with opportunities to work on inventorying and monitoring, research, GIS and other technologies, and interpretation and education projects. After the internships, a career workshop is held in Washington DC where the interns present the results of their work, are exposed to different science careers, and develop skills to apply for a federal job. The program is administered by the NPS Natural Resource Stewardship and Science offices, the NPS Youth Programs Division, and in partnership with Environment for the Americas.
  • Length: Mosaics In Science internships are twelve or twenty weeks, and start around mid-May. A mandatory, all-expense paid career workshop will be held immediately following the park-based portion of the internship.
  • Pay: Interns are provided a weekly stipend over their term, travel expenses are paid, and the costs of housing are covered. The weekly stipend for DHA-RA interns is $640 and for PLC interns is $600.
  • Deadline to apply: January 31, 2024 on http://www.latinoheritageintern.com/
