About National Geographic Society & The Nature Conservancy Community Conservation, Data Visualization, and Mapping Externship

The National Geographic Society + The Nature Conservancy Community Conservation, Data Visualization, and Mapping Externship is an 8-week, part-time, fully remote experience where you'll tackle pressing conservation issues in your own community and drive positive change using mapping and geographic information systems (GIS) data.
Learning from conservation and GIS experts at the National Geographic Society and The Nature Conservancy, you'll explore key topics such as biodiversity loss, marine issues, and freshwater threats. You'll get hands-on training with Esri mapping and GIS tools, conduct your own location-based data research, and create maps and StoryMaps that make conservation challenges relevant to any community, all while building skills that fuel a purpose-driven career in conservation.
