Dinosaur National Monument offers Interpretation Intern positions each summer. These internship positions work with paid and volunteer staff to provide interpretive programs and visitor services to monument visitors. These positions work 40 hour per week with consecutive days off. Internship positions are not limited to students. These positions open to anyone interested.

Position Overview:

Interpretive interns are a primary contact for visitors to Dinosaur National Monument. Interns are responsible for staffing the visitor center and providing orientation and informational services to visitors.

Both visitor centers are outlets for the Intermountain Natural History Association bookstore, the monument’s educational partner. Interns assist with bookstore sales including operating a cash register or computer-based point-of-sale system, receiving monies, making correct change, and occasionally completing documentation about sales.

Interns research, develop, and present their own original interpretive programs based on the monument’s interpretive themes. These programs include walks, talks, and shuttle tours. Interns provide informal interpretation during fixed station and roving assignments.
