<\/span>Dear Academic Advisor; <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>The National Park Service at Mount Rushmore National Memorial offers<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nacademic internships in the interpretive branch to qualifying students in the fields of interpretation, communication, history, parks and recreation management, natural
\nhistory, and related studies.<\/p>\n

Our interpretive internships allow students to fulfill a number of academic
\nrequirements while experiencing first-hand the interpretive operation of a
\nmajor National Park unit.  This year is the 7th year of the Mount Rushmore History Association scholarship<\/b>. We are offering UP TO 6 scholarship positions. Each position, will receive a $2,000 payment on or about week 6 of the Internship and another $2,000
\n at the end of a completed 13-16 week internship. This year\u2019s internship season begins on 5\/10\/20.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 
\nInterns work alongside Mount Rushmore staff in conducting guided walks, interpretive talks, roving patrols, and providing visitor services at the information desks.  After intensive orientation to the site and training in the role and practice of interpretation,
\n interns develop their abilities in
\npublic speaking and visitor services through supervisory coaching and teaching provided by one of our three certified interpretive coaches.<\/p>\n

Previous student interns have benefited from such hands-on experience when seeking employment with the National Park Service, related agencies or organizations. Please view our youtube video found here
