Interns will split their time evenly between TWS and NASC. Most of the intern’s time will be spent tracking state and federal legislation that impacts hunting, fishing, and wildlife conservation, writing and assisting with the preparation of the NASC email newsletter and TWS’s publications and providing timely information to state legislative caucuses. In addition time will be spent serving as a liaison to TWS Chapters and State Sportsmen’s Caucuses. Further activities will depend upon the ability and interest of each intern and the need of TWS and NASC.

COLLEGE CREDIT: TWS and NASC will cooperate with universities/colleges that offer credit for intern programs. However, it is the student’s responsibility to make all the arrangements for receiving academic credit.
