​If you are someone with an interest in wildlife conservation, data analysis, and engagement with community, this internship is for you! We are seeking candidates to assist with ongoing retrospective analyses of wildlife data, educational community day events, and day-to-day admissions of patients to our center. Interns have the opportunity to develop interpersonal skills, statistical analyses of real data, and gain familiarity with wildlife rehabilitation techniques. 

We are looking for the people who will matriculate onward to decide public policy, regulate wildlife conservation, or even those continuing with rehabilitation. We feel it is critical for these people to have a strong appreciation for wildlife science early in their careers, so that they can truly understand the species they will someday regulate, study professionally, or preserve.

 

Job Duties:   

• Digitize historic intake forms for internal analysis

• Taking and recording live calls from the public regarding injured, ill, or orphaned wildlife

• Work with staff or small teams in organizing, compiling, and managing data

• Coordinating drop-off appointments between the public and our wildlife team

• Import data into internal databases under close supervision

• Tracking day-to-day animal capacity at the center

• Conduct data quality assurance to ensure data is accurate and appropriate for analysis

• Educating the public on the importance of environmental/wildlife conservation at community events 

 

​​Abilities and experience required:​

• Possess creativity, flexibility, variety, and growth potential

• Should be open-minded, a fast learner, enthusiastic, and adaptable

• Requires self-confidence and ability to interact on a professional level

• Interests in wildlife protection and assisting people with their wildlife issues

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to work diligently and complete tasks on time

• Ability to work in small teams

• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills

• Time management — this is critical to ensure everything gets done...we can be very busy!

• English — Multilingual skills are welcome! 

• Pursuing or possessing a Bachelor’s Degree

 
Terms of Internship:

• A three-month commitment is required.

• Flexible scheduling with other interns at the center allows for days off or illness.

• We make monthly schedules so you become a pillar of our efforts. Interns are not “extra help” at our center.  

• Interns need to be able to provide transportation to get to our site.

• Interns need to have a place to live.  We presently do not have housing.

• Minimum age is 18.

 
Post-graduate Internship Perks:

• You will get first-hand experience working with 10+ years of data - an opportunity which very few conservation internships offer. This will make you a strong applicant for higher-level education programs.

• If you give us your all, we will give you a letter of recommendation that reflects that effort. We enjoy seeing where our interns matriculate.
