What we found: The Friends’ employment page directs applications to the state park manager for two summer internships covering mainland and island facilities, grounds, trails and interpretive assistance. A boat is provided for island commuting. The ten-week, forty-hour arrangement and advertised wage make this a substantive paid operational lead. However, the page supplies no year and explicitly labels housing TBD. Record the nonprofit as a recruitment partner and the state park as the application contact, rather than assuming the Friends organization is the legal employer.
