Hi Bree, 

MDLT is currently recruiting for our next round of WISDOM interns. If you happen to know of any future women in STEM who may be interested, please share this opportunity. I have attached a poster for you to share as well. 

More information about the internship: 

Women In Science Discovering Our Mojave (WISDOM) is a collaborative internship program offered by the Mojave Desert Land Trust (MDLT) providing femme-aligned students an opportunity to explore careers in environmental science and receive mentorship from working professionals.
Participants are provided with field transportation, gear, and a stipend.
Interns will be conducting biodiversity surveys, or “Bio-Blitzes”, throughout Afton Canyon through the community science platform iNaturalist. Their observations will contribute to biodiversity data within Mojave Trails National Monument and a global database used by scientists and researchers. The goal of this project is to eliminate gaps in biodiversity data on iNaturalist and other resource management systems, introduce interns to field sampling techniques, build upon naturalist identification skills, provide in-field experience, and educate the public about the natural and recreational values of public lands through community science initiatives.  
Activities for this internship begin April 2025, and will include orientation, monthly office days, monthly field days, and a final presentation concluding in September 2025. Orientation, monthly office days, and the final presentation will be remote. Interns will also complete a creative project.
Reasonable accommodations will be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.
Applicants must be enrolled in a higher education program or have graduated within the past two years and have federally valid identification. All academic majors are welcome to apply.
Application deadline: March 1, 2025
How to apply:
Please email your resume and a thoughtful cover letter addressing your interest and how your experience prepares you for this position to internships at mdlt.org.

This internship is supported by the Conservation Lands Foundation.

Feel free to reach out with any questions. 
Have a great day, 
Mackenzie
