Position Description

The Monarch Research and Education SkillBridge Internship offers hands-on experience in monarch monitoring, habitat assessments, conservation, and community outreach. Interns conduct field research using standardized protocols and work directly with biologists and Natural Resource Managers on military lands.

This is a field-focused position. Interns typically spend four days each week outdoors and one day completing data entry, writing, and administrative tasks. Fieldwork involves documenting milkweed presence, identifying blooming plants, and recording monarch eggs, larvae, and adults. Interns also support outreach activities designed to inspire interest in monarchs, pollinators, and migration among military families and school-aged children. All interns write biweekly blogs and attend virtual team meetings and webinars.

Interns who continue into the fall season assist with capturing, tagging, and measuring monarchs during migration.

Education & Community Engagement

  • Develop and lead educational programs for military communities, such as school visits, scout activities, citizen science events, and nature walks
  • Promote awareness of monarch conservation and pollinator ecology

Qualifications

Required

  • Strong communication skills, including clear and consistent written and verbal communication
  • Interest in conservation with demonstrated enthusiasm for wildlife, ecology, or environmental science
