The Masonville Cove Links Internship Program offers a unique and valuable experience for students interested in learning about careers in conservation and community engagement. Participants will find that careers in conservation are possible in many more fields of study than they realized! Interns will work with key Masonville Cove Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership partners, such as the Maryland Port Administration, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Living Classrooms Foundation and National Aquarium in a wide variety of experiences and office environments.  

They will contribute to the area's research, restoration, and preservation efforts, including the Patuxent National Wildlife Research Refuge and the Masonville Cove Environmental Education Center.   They will gain practical skills and soft skills training in etiquette, appropriate attire, and communications facilitated by distinguished professionals and local chapter members of The Links, Incorporated, further enhancing their overall personal growth and readiness. 
 
The program is open to individuals from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, and it offers a chance to make a real impact in our community.  Students from local Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are encouraged to apply.
