If you're interested in working with wildlife, consider our Wildlife Rehabilitation Internship! As an intern, you'll gain hands-on experience in every aspect of wildlife, from admission to release. You'll learn from experienced rehabbers and participate in tasks such as building cages and assisting with educational programs.

 

Our Education Internship Program is perfect for those who love wildlife and teaching. You'll learn how to care for and train outreach ambassador animals, as well as how to use them for educational programming. As an education intern, you may lead tours, participate in outreach programs, train ambassador animals, and develop educational material.

This internship is ideal for students majoring in education, biology, and environmental sciences. The program requires minimum commitment of 8 weeks, 40 hours per week. Shared housing is available for up to five interns, and externships are available for local students who cannot commit to 40 hours per week Treehouse Wildlife Center may also offer internships in other areas of interest, such as fundraising, public relations, and grant writing.
