Interns work collaboratively as part of the education team based in Arches National Park to facilitate educational activities and field trips that connect students to local natural/cultural history in Arches and Canyonlands national parks and the surrounding landscape.  

Interns will play a vital role in our education team as Canyon Country Outdoor Education works to improve the educational experience within the National Parks for the Latinx and Spanish-speaking student community. By providing translation to students during field experiences and developing language accessible props and materials, interns will create deeper connections between Latinx and Spanish-speaking students and their public lands. 

This is a great position for applicants with career interests in place-based learning, classroom teaching, or outdoor/environmental education.

Successful applicants will have:

• Spanish language fluency (written and spoken). 
• A strong desire to work with elementary school students. 
• Curiosity about making science learning culturally relevant, multilingual, and meaningful for students through facilitating connections to their surrounding landscapes in Spanish and English. 
• Ability to competently translate educational materials, props, key terms, parent letters, and evaluations for field trips into Spanish. 
• Cultural humility and openness to multiple ways of thinking about nature and the environment. 
• Attention to growing as an educator and receiving feedback on teaching and teaching materials. 
• A collaborative approach to work and the ability to manage projects independently. 
• A state-issued Drivers License and be at least eighteen years of age.
