Interns may be assigned to work in one of the many divisions within the National Geographic Society and so individual projects and assignments will vary. Most include some degree of research, writing, working in teams, and self-direction. Divisions that have hosted interns in the past include National Geographic Magazine; Maps/Cartographic; Education and Children's Media; the Research, Conservation & Exploration Group; Explorer’s Programs; National Geographic Channel Standard and Practices and others.</span><span style='font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#606060'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:12.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:150%;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#606060'> <strong><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif"'>Please share the <a href="http://nationalgeographic.us7.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=64c8d5539a59bf01582ae4edb&id=eb8befbab3&e=933397c43f" target="_blank"><span style='color:#6DC6DD;font-weight:normal'>link to apply</span></a> and post the flyer available <a href="http://nationalgeographic.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=64c8d5539a59bf01582ae4edb&id=b731912fc6&e=933397c43f" target="_blank"><span style='color:#6DC6DD;font-weight:normal'>here</span></a> for the National Geographic Society Geography Intern Program </span></strong>on your department bulletin boards and listserves.
