Dear Colleagues,
Reminder: The Everglades Foundation is accepting applications from
junior, seniors, and recent college graduates for the John Marshall
Everglades Internship. During this 8-week (May 16^th – July 12^th ,
2019) undergraduate internship program, qualified students will learn
about the Everglades ecosystem, history, water management issues,
policies, and educational outreach related to Everglades restoration.
Interns will go on site visits to natural areas across the Everglades
ecosystem. Interns select from one of three categories for their
capstone projects: science communications, science education, and policy
and science digital communications.
Interns will receive a small stipend for food and housing.
This year’s capstone projects:
*Science Communications Intern (2):*
1)Manage the creation of the Science Insider Magazine. The intern
manages, edits, and coordinates the projection of this science based
magazine used to promote the good work of the Foundation’s science team.

2)Creation of educational factsheets. The intern will research facts on
endangered species, invasive species, and commonly found species in the

in informational booklets passed out on tours and other outreach events.
*Education Intern (1):*
1)Develop a multi-tiered approach for delivering Everglades
instructional programming to K-12 STEM/STEAM Partners. School-community
partnerships are agreements between an organization, and a school or
school district to work together to enhance education. The Foundation
has partnerships with 20+ schools in Miami-Dade County, where at least
four different visits are needed for the partnership: 1) Teacher
Training; 2) Classroom Presentation; 3)Science Night; and 4)Other
(Special Project/Event). The intern will help enhance this aspect of our
program by developing a series of new Everglades related classroom
presentations for different grade levels.
*Policy and Science Digital Communications Intern (1):*
1)Create and distribute all John Marshall Everglades Summer Internship
promotional pieces. The intern will be charged with documenting through
pictures and videos all aspects of the internship program. S/he will

their internship experience to be promoted on the Foundation’s website.
