Summer 2024 applications closed. We plan to re-open applications for 2025 USDA Forest Service projects in December. We occasionally offer opportunities outside the summer season, feel free to check for new projects!

GeoCorps™ America offers paid short-term geoscience opportunities in some of the most beautiful natural areas in the world. Topic areas include geology, hydrology, paleontology, mapping and GIS, minerals, soils, glaciology, geohazards, karst, education, and interpretation. GSA partners with the USDA Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and other organizations committed to science and stewardship in order to offer the program. GeoCorps participants are encouraged to follow CDC guidance and stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, including boosters. 

Learn more about the experiences of GeoCorps alumni via GSA's guest blog, Speaking of Geoscience.
