Missouri National Recreational River (MNRR) offers a variety of opportunities for educators, pre-service teachers, and home school parents. Please check out the following learning experiences.
Teacher -Ranger Teachers at MNRR
Teacher-Ranger-Teachers or TRTs are just that - classroom teachers during the school year who work as Park Rangers during the summer then return to their schools for the next school year.
Teacher Workshops
The National Park Service provides free workshops for teachers, home school parents, and non-formal educators. Please note that there is a tuition fee from the accrediting institution for those teachers who wish to earn academic credit when that option is available. A minimum of ten pre-registered participants is required to conduct a workshop.
Student Positions
Student intern positions are available in Missouri National Recreational River's Division of Interpretation during the warm seasons and include gaining valuable and diverse work experience in the area of public education and outreach, sciences and resource management, and park maintenance. Student interns for the summer season help create greater awareness of the park, develop new and innovative resource based programs, enhance outreach to local communities and create digital content for the park website and social media.
Volunteer Opportunities are also available for ages 16 through adult. These include resource conservation projects, visitor services and river clean-ups.
