Internships

Did you know we offer both Animal Care Internships in our Rehabilitation Center and Environmental Education Internships in our Education Center?

Internships at Aark develop your wildlife knowledge and experience. Our internships run during the summer months and are accredited by several colleges and universities.  Because our interns are earning college credits, they are expected to work more shifts and complete projects that are more challenging than that which is required of our typical volunteers.  At the end of the program, our interns receive a review and evaluation of their performance, initiative, leadership, and reliability.

For more information about an internship at Aark, please contact aarkvolunteer@aark.org.

Please have all of your institution’s requirements available when inquiring.
