Summer 2027 Internship Opportunities

Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation | Medora, North Dakota

Join the Greatest Team in the West — and Leave Your Legacy

Opportunity awaits in Medora.

The Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation (TRMF) is seeking motivated college students for paid Summer 2027 internships in Accounting, Human Resources, Marketing, Hospitality, Group Event Services, Retail, Entertainment, and Information Technology.

But a TRMF internship is more than a summer job. Students selected for an internship will become part of the 2027 Trailblazer cohort of the Legacy Trail Internship Program: a structured 12-week experience combining meaningful department-based work, professional development, mentorship, leadership learning, and a Legacy Project designed to create lasting value.

Set in the heart of the North Dakota Badlands, TRMF welcomes guests from around the world through lodging, attractions, entertainment, education, retail, and unforgettable guest experiences. Our interns have the opportunity to contribute to that mission while building skills, relationships, and experiences they can carry into their future careers.

Internship opportunities may be available in:

• Accounting
• Human Resources
• Marketing
• Hospitality – Hotel Front Desk
• Group Event Services
• Information Technology
• Retail
• Entertainment

Internship responsibilities will vary based on department needs, student interests, academic requirements, and organizational priorities.

Every selected intern becomes a Trailblazer and participates in TRMF's Legacy Trail Internship Program alongside their department internship.

The 12-week program is designed to help students move beyond simply gaining work experience and begin developing the confidence, perspective, leadership skills, and professional relationships needed for their next step.

Throughout the summer, Trailblazers will:

• Participate in In the Arena leadership and professional development sessions.
• Explore principles of exceptional hospitality and service through Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara.
• Connect with TRMF leaders and professionals across the organization.
• Participate in a structured mentorship experience.
• Build relationships with fellow Trailblazers from different areas of the organization.
• Apply classroom learning to real-world opportunities and operational challenges.
• Reflect on their growth, leadership, and professional development throughout the summer.
• Complete a Legacy Project that contributes to department goals and creates lasting value for TRMF.
• Share their work and experience as part of the end-of-season Legacy Trail Internship Showcase.
• Become part of the Legacy Trail alumni network, staying connected with fellow Trailblazers and TRMF beyond the internship experience.

The goal is simple: do meaningful work, grow as a professional, and leave a legacy.

We are looking for current college students and recent graduates pursuing education or career interests related to:

• Accounting, Human Resources, Marketing, Hospitality, Event Services, Retail, Entertainment, Information Technology, Business, Communications, Tourism, or related fields.

Strong Trailblazer candidates are:

• Curious and eager to learn.
• Dependable and willing to take ownership.
• Service-minded.
• Open to feedback and professional growth.
• Comfortable working as part of a team.
• Interested in contributing — not simply observing.
• Ready to make the most of a unique summer experience.
