Summer Internship

The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is recruiting for a summer intern. Below is information about the program. If you are interested in this internship visit their website or contact Laura Delgado.

The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of Alaskan animals. Among our tools of conservation, we incorporate educational programs that inform and teach our many visitors on matters relating to Alaska’s wildlife. For several years we have hosted a summer intern program. This program is a huge success with students passing on learned knowledge to the many multi-cultural visitors that pass through our Center each year.

Our interns endeavor to educate the public while acting as advocates for the animals. Each year we accept between 5 and 10 recent high school graduates or currently enrolled college students into our program depending upon available funding. The interns live at our Center in Portage where they are trained in many facets of animal husbandry and interpretation. These interpretative skills are used to address the nearly 350,000 visitors that roll through our gates each May to September. The interns are paid $800.00 per month as a stipend, they are provided with uniforms, housing and taken on weekly educational field trips throughout the State. In addition, they may earn credit towards their degree through our approved curriculum.
