If you’ve made it all the way to college without ever watching or reading some sort of National Geographic material, there has to be something wrong with you. Despite their dot com web address, National Geographic is actually “one of the largest non-profit scientific and educational institutions in the world” according to Wikipedia. Their main focuses “include geography, archaeology and natural science, the promotion of environmental and historical conservation, and the study of world culture and history.” You probably know them best for their yellow-bordered magazine covers and fantastic documentaries. The organization is more formally known as the National Geographic Society, and they are headquartered in Washington, DC. They’ve been around since 1888, and they continue to be a powerhouse when it comes to publishing educational content about the natural world.
If you were the kind of kid who asked for a subscription to National Geographic for your birthday or sat glued to their documentaries instead of doing your homework, then an internship is obviously worth consideration. Even if you’re not a total nature nerd, their internships are worth looking at – they appear to provide some pretty cool work experiences. Over the past week National Geographic has posted 3 new internship opportunities (with multiple openings) in Academic School Publishing Operations, Photographic Licensing, and Academic, Traveler Research. I’m assuming that these internships are located in DC, and they appear to be unpaid. You can apply online, so get to it.
