We’re in the business of developing future conservation leaders and providing them with the capacity to address the most significant conservation issues of our time.
Students are recruited based on the needs of National Park Service sites. This results in a mutually beneficial experience where students gain valuable experience and mentorship in their fields.
We’re striving to develop a diverse, inclusive, competent and caring workforce that’s committed to conservation.
