Since that time, fraternity members and members of its youth auxiliaries have visited national wildlife refuges to experience first-hand the recreational and educational opportunities available on lands and waters managed by the Service. The recently renewed memorandum of understanding was initially signed in 2014. It will also help the Service better reflect the public that we serve. In building a diverse workforce, the Service will be better positioned to address the increasingly complex conservation issues that we must address. Through the partnership, the Service and Phi Beta Sigma will collaborate to identify and promote internship and career opportunities within the Fraternity membership, and identify talented, interested individuals from amongst its membership to feed the pipeline for internships and careers within the Service and the conservation community. The historic African American fraternity consists of approximately 200,000 members in 700 collegiate and alumni chapters around the world. Founded in 1914 at Howard University in Washington, D.C., Phi Beta Sigma is an international fraternal and service organization whose members exemplify the ideals of brotherhood, scholarship, and service. Fish and Wildlife Service has renewed its partnership with Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., to increase awareness of and participation in wildlife conservation, wildlife-associated recreation, and educational and career opportunities among its membership. ![]()
