Educational Intern information

What is an educational intern?

Educational Interns are students or recent graduates who work temporarily in educational settings, such as schools or educational organizations, to gain practical experience in teaching, curriculum development, or educational administration. Their responsibilities often include assisting teachers, preparing lesson materials, tutoring students, and participating in classroom activities. Educational internships are usually designed to provide hands-on learning opportunities and help interns develop the skills needed for a career in education. These positions are typically unpaid or modestly compensated and may be a requirement for completing an education degree. Interns benefit from mentorship and exposure to real-world classroom environments.

What types of projects and responsibilities can an educational intern expect during their internship?

As an Educational Intern, you can expect to assist with lesson planning, classroom management, and supporting both teachers and students in various activities. Interns often help prepare instructional materials, participate in group projects, and may even have opportunities to lead small groups or deliver short lessons under supervision. Collaboration with experienced educators is common, providing valuable mentorship and feedback. This hands-on experience helps interns gain insight into daily classroom dynamics and develop practical teaching skills.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an educational intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Educational Intern, you need a foundational understanding of educational theory, classroom management, and subject-specific knowledge, often supported by enrollment in or completion of an education-related degree program. Familiarity with digital learning platforms, presentation tools like PowerPoint, and basic classroom technology is typically expected. Strong communication, adaptability, and collaboration skills help interns connect with students and support teachers effectively. These skills are crucial for fostering a productive learning environment and gaining practical experience in educational settings.

Educational Interns typically participate in internships to gain experience and often have less formal teaching responsibilities. Teaching Assistants support classroom activities and assist teachers directly. Both roles involve working in educational settings, but Interns focus on learning and observation, while TAs are more involved in day-to-day teaching support.

Position Description
This internship supports the Interpretation and Education Division at Colorado National Monument (COLM), a park with nearly 500,000 annual visitors and a rapidly growing Spanish-language educational program. The intern will gain experience across all aspects of interpretive operations, including visitor center support, educational programming, guided walks, field trips, and bilingual (Spanish/English) public engagement.
The intern will work closely with the park's Spanish-language Education Technician, the Resiliency Ranger, and partner organizations to expand Spanish-language educational offerings and community-based programming. They will utilize the new Spanish-language Resiliency Ranger booklet (to be printed in January 2026), building from successful mental health curriculum that earned COLM the 2025 NPS Director's Visitor Safety Award.
The intern will collaborate with local Latino groups and community partners-such as Clifton Community Leaders and the Dual Immersion Academy-to develop culturally responsive, community-centered educational content. Products created during the internship will be provided in Spanish, including videos, outlines, educational resources, and field trip materials. The intern may serve up to 1,000 local students and tens of thousands of park visitors throughout the internship.
Responsibilities
  • Provide customer service and support at a high-visitation visitor center, offering information, trip planning assistance, and informal interpretation.
  • Deliver educational programs, field trips, walks, and talks in both Spanish and English for diverse audiences.
  • Use the park's established mental-health curriculum to engage youth and families from minority communities in the Grand Valley.
  • Work with and learn from the Resiliency Ranger, incorporating Spanish-language Resiliency Ranger materials into youth and family programs.
  • Collaborate with Latino community groups, Title I schools, and partner organizations to create new educational opportunities.
  • Develop Spanish-language educational products such as videos, lesson plans, communication materials, and program outlines.
  • Create culturally responsive programming for after-school events, community gatherings, or family-oriented learning environments.
  • Support delivery of bilingual public programs and assist park educators with outreach across Mesa County.
  • Help strengthen cross-cultural engagement and encourage marginalized communities to participate in public lands experiences.

Qualifications
  • Spanish language fluency (required).
  • Passion for environmental education, public service, working with students, and connecting communities to public lands.
  • Interest in science, history, culture, or related fields (coursework in science, history, or the arts is welcome).
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to engage diverse audiences in bilingual settings.
  • Comfort delivering educational programs or willingness to grow in public-speaking and interpretive skills.
  • Ability to collaborate with educators, partner groups, and community organizations.
  • Professionalism, reliability, and enthusiasm for working in dynamic, visitor-facing environments.
  • Creativity and cultural awareness when developing educational content for Spanish-speaking communities.
