Internship Position with the American Alpine Institute, Posted: 2/19/11

The American Alpine Institute is currently seeking intelligent and detail-oriented individuals that would like to work in the dynamic and exciting world of an international climbing school and guide service. We are currently seeking candidates to fill two positions. First, we have a full-time year-round position available for a program coordinator at our home office in Bellingham, Washington. And second, we have an internship that will start and finish in Bellingham, but will primarily be located in Talkeetna, Alaska, providing support to Denali and Alaska Range expeditions.

The Climbing Program Coordinator position is a full-time year-round position. Program coordinators are the individuals who do the daily tasks that keep a guide service running. They are the people who talk to prospective students, take care of billing and money tracking, create marketing strategies, develop our catalogue and website, and help to create new programs. We are currently trying to find someone that will be an effective team member on the administrative staff of a world class guide service.

The Alaska Range Support internship is an exciting opportunity for a motivated and organized individual. Interns will provide expedition support for all of our Alaska programs. Interns will spend the last week of April, May, June, and the first week of July, working out of Talkeetna, Alaska. This position requires a solidly organized person that will be willing to help the guides plan food and equipment for 21-day Denali expeditions. Part of the compensation for this position is the opportunity to join one of our Denali trips (or, if you don’t have the requisite skills for that trip, then another expedition).

To learn more about these opportunities, you may contact Jason Martin at jason@aai.cc or at 360-671-1505. You may also log onto http://www.aai.cc/Employment/ to see prospectuses for the positions and to apply.

Interpretive Internships at the Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Posted: 2/19/11

Mount Rushmore National Memorial offers academic internships in the Interpretive Division to qualifying students in the fields of interpretation, communication, history, parks and recreation management, and natural history, and related studies.

Our interpretive internships allow students to fulfill a number of academic requirements while experiencing first-hand the interpretive operation of a major National Park unit. The practical experience that we offer is based on participation.

Interns work alongside Mount Rushmore staff in conducting guided walks, interpretive talks, roving patrols, and providing visitor services at information desks. After intensive orientation to the site and training in the role and practice of interpretation, interns develop their abilities in public speaking and visitor services through supervisory coaching and critiquing.

Previous student interns have benefited from such hands-on experience when seeking employment with the National Park Service, related agencies or organizations.

The enclosed description of the internship program may be copied for interested applicants or posted on your department bulletin boards, as needed.

The website source for information on Mount Rushmore National Memorial also lists opportunities for interns and volunteers at www.nps.gov/moru. We welcome further inquiries about the internship programs at Mount Rushmore.
For details, please contact me by phone at (605) 574-3170 or via e-mail at Blaine_Kortemeyer@nps.gov.

The Cable Natural History Museum (CNHM) in Cable, WI, is currently offering internships and applied learning opportunities for Northland College students. We are now accepting applications for both a May-term Environmental Education Internship and a summer Naturalist Internship. Both positions will give students a chance to develop their skills as environmental educators and naturalists.

In addition, we are interested in offering a series of Focused Fellowships that would encourage students to apply what they’ve learned at Northland to real-world projects that benefit the local community. These projects may be connected with regular course work, or may simply make use of skills and resources that students already possess.

Fellowship projects may involve anything from GIS mapping to writing, curriculum development, exhibit design, program delivery, K-12 Environmental Education, trail maintenance, land management, wildlife inventories, public workshops, and marketing. Students or professors may propose projects that reinforce course work, or the Museum can work with a student to match their skills with the Museum’s needs. Students can work individually, in teams, or as an entire class. A modest stipend will be available for most projects.

Flyers with more information are attached. Please distribute them as you see fit. I will be at the Job and Internship Fair on February 10th if students would like more information.

The Cable Natural History Museum is a regional resource dedicated to promoting appreciation of nature, providing opportunities for natural history education; and advocating stewardship for the environment.

Please contact me if you have any questions, or if you have additional ideas for how Northland College and the Cable Natural History Museum can work together.

Sierra Club Internship: http://www.sierraclub.org/bestinternship/

Want the Best Internship on Earth?

Travel around the country hiking, rafting, and enjoying the outdoors with the Sierra Club’s youth programs
Create an awesome video blog that documents the experience
Your home base office will be in beautiful San Francisco at the Sierra Club’s headquarters
Earn a $2,500 stipend for the 8-week internship, plus all expenses paid for travel
The intern will be outfitted with $2,000 worth of gear from The North Face and Planet Explore

Our Outdoors Youth Ambassador intern will spend the summer video-blogging on different Sierra Club outings sponsored by our Inner City Outings, Building Bridges to the Outdoors, and Volunteer Vacations programs. See glorious sights, meet amazing young people, and have new adventures!

Given the current economic crisis, college students are very focused on internships and jobs, and opportunities that will help them in the job market. I’m excited to let you in on something Sierra is creating as part of our Earth Day celebration in 2010.

“The Best Internship on Earth” will be a 6-week internship with the Sierra Club where the intern will get to travel around the country as the Club’s Youth Outdoors Ambassador to our programs that focus on outdoor experiences – Building Bridges to the Outdoors and Inner City Outings, as well as some of our National Service Trips that have a younger demographic. The intern will spend the summer outdoors, going river rafting, rock climbing, hiking, and backpacking, and meeting young Sierra Club heroes along the way. The intern’s primary responsibility will be to document these outdoor experiences in video blogs, working with Sierra Club Productions to regularly update our website with fun, edgy, outdoorsy, youth-oriented video content.

In order to apply, students will have to be between the ages of 18-25. They will be asked to fill out a form listing their email address, phone number, etc and will need to submit a short video (max 60 seconds) talking about why they love the outdoors and why they want to work with the Sierra Club in our mission to help more people explore, enjoy, and protect the planet.

The internship would be based in our San Francisco headquarters, with frequent trips to outings. Most of the outings would be on the West coast, to minimize travel costs.

The official launch of this contest will be announced soon. Sign up now to get the Sierra Club “Insider” our email newsletter for news, green lifestyle tips, and ways to take action: right to your inbox, twice a month.

I’m e-mailing to inform you and the University students about the opportunities for employment this summer at Rydell National Wildlife Refuge and Glacial Ridge NWR. These opportunities have just been funded, and are dynamic and run through mid-May until late August. Both internships would be great learning experiences for anyone interested in a career in Geographic Information Systems(GIS), education, natural resources, forestry or outdoor recreation planning! If the attached official internship announcements can be posted on an internship bulletin board, or distributed among the classrooms, we would be very appreciative.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to give us a call.
