The Marine and Community Conservation Remote Externship, a collaboration between the National Geographic Society, The Nature Conservancy, and Paragon One, is designed to inspire the next generation of environmental leaders and changemakers. In this 8-week virtual externship, students will translate global marine conservation issues into a local context, making them relevant and accessible to their communities, and offer solutions to a local or regional problem. Students will learn about marine conservation careers throughout the externship from weekly webinars featuring NGS and TNC experts, their own research, and informational interviews conducted with local conservation organizations.
We are seeking young people ages 18-25 from anywhere in the world who want to learn about introductory approaches to conservation and explore a career in marine conservation. The externship will run from early March–late April 2022 and will require 10 hours of work per week. Learn more about the experience here. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis through February 28, 2022.
