Events and outreach

The Events and Outreach Internship focuses on sharing the stories behind the lands protected by Utah Open Lands and helping connect the community to conservation. Interns support the organization’s outreach efforts by developing and sharing engaging content across social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Working closely with the Director of Community Outreach, the intern helps translate the broader narrative and strategy into compelling posts that highlight where conservation has happened, why it matters, and how people can be part of protecting the places they love. This role provides experience in storytelling, digital engagement, and communicating the impact of land conservation to a wider audience.
