National Park Service George Rogers Clark National Historical Park offers internship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. Intern positions support interpretation operations and educational programs in the park. An internship with George Rogers Clark NHP provides an unforgettable, invaluable experience, and for many interns, the most rewarding summer of their lives thus far. Park interns work on the "front lines" of history by serving the public and sharing the past with modern visitors, fine-tuning both their research and presentation skills. Our internship program is an excellent opportunity for students and recent graduates to apply knowledge learned in the classroom, gain experience, meet professionals in the field, and often to determine which aspect of their chosen field is of greatest interest. Qualifications The park is looking for interns wanting to gain experience using the information they have learned in the classroom, learning more about their field of study, and gaining real world experience working for a federal agency. The park wants to create an internship that fits your needs both academically and professionally. The park will offer on-the-job training to perform a wide variety of tasks within the national park.

These experiences can include the different facets of working in a national park such as running the site's visitor center, conducting historic weapons demonstrations, graphic design, and much more. The internship will also provide practical training for how a national park operates. Dates of Service Summer: June to August Internships are full or part-time.
