The Missouri Department of Natural Resources' mission to serve as stewards of our natural resources to benefit Missourians requires a diverse workforce. The department's Summer Professional Development Program is designed to provide college students or recent graduates with real-life experience working alongside the department’s engineers, scientists, natural resource managers and other professionals. Not only do you gain the experience you need, but you get to show off your hard-earned knowledge and skills. Our interns are essential to our MoDNR team!
Opportunities with the Summer Professional Development Program exist throughout Missouri, including 93 state parks and historic sites. There are paid and unpaid opportunities. Most college majors will be considered, with special consideration given to: Agriculture, Architecture, Atmospheric Science, Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Environmental Science, Geography, Historic Preservation, History, Interpretation, Landscaping, Museum Studies, Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation, Public Administration, Tourism, Accounting, Business Administration and Human Resources. Positions are typically available in each of our five divisions:
- Division of Administrative Support
- Division of Energy
- Division of Environmental Quality
- Missouri Geological Survey
- Missouri State Parks
The department typically begins accepting applications in the fall, with placements made in May. Be sure to visit MoCareers to find the listing of the department's internship positions. Students can apply to any or all of our program opportunities.
