​Internships Applications!

​Spring internships have a minimum requirement of
​6-10 hours per week that will be completed within a flexible schedule determined prior to beginning the internship. Some work, following training, can be done remotely at the discretion of the team leader. 


No two days in wildlife rehabilitation are the same. Interns must be flexible, dedicated, dependable, and comfortable working within a team setting with fellow interns and volunteers, and with the public. Interns will carry out a weekly set schedule that they are accountable for during the entirety of their internship.
