Student Conservation Association Internships

Working closely with the National Park Service and the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Student Conservation Association (SCA) has developed expense-paid internships aimed at providing students with the mentorship and hands-on experience needed to build a career in the conservation field.

Internships are found in a wide variety of fields–education, historical preservation, resource management, visitor service, and many others–but they all have one thing in common: they promote social, personal, and academic development, and pave the way for professional success.

Ideal candidates are:

• US citizens or permanent residents
• Undergraduate or graduate students during the 2016-2017 academic year who self-identify as being from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds
• Available for a 12-week summer internship
• Open-minded, with an adventurous spirit
• Not necessarily experienced in conservation, but eager to learn more – all majors are welcome

Interested students can learn more at:
