## About this program

The Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County's Education Outreach team launched the Marine Teens internship in 2019. Each year it recruits a cohort of ten high school juniors and seniors who attend school or live in Boyle Heights: eight first-year interns and two returning interns who serve as Peer Mentors. As paid museum employees, the Marine Teens develop an interpretive marine science project and share it with museum guests.

Juniors and seniors who live in or attend high school in Boyle Heights; a work permit and proof of authorization to work in the U.S. are required. The spring portion meets on select Saturdays in April and May, and the summer portion runs six weeks in June and July at 24 hours a week. Applications for the 2027 program open in February 2027.

Fields above come directly from the catalog listing. A field with no stored value is omitted.
