Interns lead K-5th grade education programs online, develop curriculum, and maintain educational resources. Additional opportunities exist to assist the Refuge staff with events. Some weekend work may be requested. As we plan for teaching in the time of COVID-19, we expect that much of the teaching experience will take place via online platforms. Come learn new skills in environmental education!
About the Refuge
We operate two visitor centers in Bloomington and Carver, MN. Located within the busy metropolitan area of the Twin Cities, the refuge provides many opportunities for residents to connect with nature. The 15,000-acre wildlife refuge is a haven to bald eagles, river otters, waterfowl and a variety of other wildlife. Refuge habitat is a mixture of wetlands, floodplain and upland forest, oak savanna and prairie along the Minnesota River.
Qualifications
We are looking for resourceful applicants who are working toward or recently completed a degree and have a passion for connecting kids to the outdoors. The 2020-2021 school year presents new opportunities and challenges we are excited to solve. The intern will need to work both independently and in small groups, while using digital conferencing platforms. Comfort in front of a camera, basic video editing and digital content development skills are desired.
The Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge works closely with teachers and schools with diverse student bodies and a high proportion of students that receive free and reduced lunch. Demonstrated cultural competence, including experience working with students from diverse cultures, are desired.
Dates, hours & location of work
Anticipated period of work is September 28, 2020-May 28, 2021. Work hours generally will be 8am-4pm Monday-Friday; some weekend and evening hours may be needed for events.
