Every year, the National Geographic Society provides a number of students with a paid opportunity to spend the summer exploring and learning with us. We offer a diverse range of dynamic internships that are designed to offer a well-rounded experience. Our goal is to provide engaging, educational, and work-related opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students. We are looking for bold people who share our passion for exploration, storytelling, science, and education and who want to help spread our mission.

In addition to their internship experience at the Society, interns will have the opportunity to participate in networking and extracurricular opportunities designed to foster peer and professional connections across all ECYC partner organizations. By joining ECYC, you commit to learning and engaging with fellow interns, leaders, mentors, and teams from all partner organizations. All internships are paid and offer both housing and travel stipends.

THE PROGRAM

In addition to gaining extensive professional experience, our internship program seeks to inspire, educate and build lasting connections through regular events with some of the National Geographic Society’s staff, Explorers, educators and storytellers. Throughout the program, you will receive support and guidance from a wide array of National Geographic staff as you explore what it is like to help us achieve our mission to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world.
