“If you have visited the park, you will notice the intentionality put into the exhibits, tours, and garden beds. This same purposefulness was poured into me and the other interns, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the staff who mentored me. My summer consisted of new experiences, professional development, and laughter, so much so. The extensive resume I had built by the end of the season seemed only like the cherry on top to the perfect summer. I couldn’t recommend internship at Saint-Gaudens NHP more!”
