Conservation Nation has identified and partnered with four community-based organizations dedicated to conservation. These organizations are located in the West, Mid-West, South, and North-East of the United States.

These community partners are connected through collaborations and partnerships with local marine biology/sciences, invertebrate biology, or environmental education college/university programs. Internship funding will cover the costs of an internship–including salary, supplies, equipment, and living expenses associated with the internship. Students will receive funds through the awarded conservation community partner to support paid career development.
