AmeriCorps VISTA Visitors Services Intern

David & Marianne Book have been volunteers, supporters & contributors on many levels for Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. His children's books are a popular item at the Nature Store, and his history book on the Refuge was a particularly challenging puzzle to pull together. I look forward to his blog for bits and pieces to be brought to life among other topics regarding the habitat and conservation efforts of Laguna Atascosa.

Through a partnership with the Conservation Legacy Program- Stewards Individual Placement Program and the AmeriCorps VISTA program, Friends has been able to provide an AmeriCorps VISTA intern for the Visitors Services Program at the Refuge for two years. AmeriCorps VISTA interns build institutional capacity and develop partnerships. This internship provides career-based experience, strengthen communities and preserve our natural resources. Our AmeriCorps VISTA’s have helped with programming with diverse audiences, assisted with volunteer recruitment and retention, and have initiated an internship program with the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
