Visitor Education Intern

Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument seeks a motivated intern to join its Future Leaders of Tomorrow Internship Program as a Visitor Education Intern. This role supports the Interpretation and Visitor Services Division in creating engaging interpretive programs, developing youth engagement strategies, and strengthening community connections.

Working closely with the Chief of Interpretation and Visitor Services—and in collaboration with the park’s Community Volunteer Ambassador Intern—the intern will help enhance the Junior Ranger Program, contribute to major park events such as World Migratory Bird Day and Latino Conservation Week, and assist in the development of Dark Sky Jr. Ranger activities. The intern will also help expand the park’s capacity to engage local youth by developing a Youth Engagement Road Map to guide future internship and employment pipelines.

This internship provides firsthand experience in interpretation, education, volunteer engagement, and youth outreach, while contributing to a dynamic and innovative team committed to building the next generation of park stewards.
