The Montana Natural History Center offers internships through the University of Montana, but these opportunities are also offered independently. Internships provide a comprehensive experience on how MNHC operates as a growing non-profit organization with 18 years of educational experience. One credit is earned for every three hours of work per week for the duration of the semester or summer session. Internships are available in each of our programs, including general environmental education and administrative/reception assistance. Interns will gain experience in all aspects of program development and implementation.
Interns should be self-motivated and committed to the principles of environmental education. Independent study credits are also available. Internships are unique opportunities to create, build, and enhance the educational exhibits and programs at MNHC.
MNHC has recently become involved with the Campus Corps program, in which interns give 300 hours of service over the course of the academic year and earn a $1,000 education award in return. For more information about this program, check out the Campus Corps information on the Office of Civic Engagement website.
For more information and for application information, please contact Allison De Jong, Volunteer & Intern Coordinator, at 406.327.0405 or adejong@montananaturalist.org.
