Education Fellowships

Launch an Education Career in Rocky

Rocky Mountain Conservancy Education Fellowships give recent graduates a season of hands-on experience in environmental education, nonprofit programming, and public land partnership. Fellows support the Field Institute and education programs while learning how meaningful outdoor experiences are planned, delivered, and evaluated.

The fellowship is a bridge between academic preparation and professional practice. Fellows may help lead guided programs, support youth and family learning, develop outreach materials, assist with bus tours and Field Institute logistics, and work alongside Conservancy and National Park Service staff.

Education Fellows help people connect what they see in Rocky to the deeper natural and cultural stories that make the park worth protecting.

Education Fellows work across a range of programs and audiences. A week may include preparing materials, supporting school or family programs, assisting with guided learning experiences, communicating with participants, and collaborating with staff on upcoming Field Institute or outreach efforts.

Teaching in a Living Classroom

Rocky Mountain National Park becomes the primary classroom. Fellows learn to translate ecology, geology, cultural history, stewardship, and visitor experience into programs that are accurate, welcoming, and memorable.

Professional Growth

The fellowship includes both assigned responsibilities and opportunities for fellows to shape projects around their strengths and goals. Strong communication, self-direction, and curiosity are essential.
