U.S. Fish and Wildlife Internship Opportunities

My name is Tracey Rock and I‘m the Volunteer Coordinator for the Coastal North Carolina National Wildlife Refuge Complex. We are in the process of recruiting Interns and volunteers for several refuges. We recruit and house several interns each year to work with us and learn about the refuge system and management practices.

Attached is an updated, detailed description of our Internships along with the different locations and opportunities offered. As you will see it is a varied experience with biological work, environmental education and refuge maintenance.

A few goals achieved in a USFWS Internship:
1. Interns will learn and gain field experience in biological work such as , shore bird nest protection, bird banding and surveys, sea turtle nest patrol, and turtle nest monitoring, just to name a few....
2. Interns will successfully lead public educational programs and become more comfortable in the Interpretation role.
3. Interns will learn to safely use appropriate maintenance equipment for bio and refuge work, i.e. ATV training, tractor /mower use, herbicide use...
4. Interns will follow USFWS policy and work (as a new hire would) in abiding by these regulations and working with refuge staff and other volunteers in a professional manner.

This experience helps students in learning more about their chosen field of work and about themselves, to help guide them in their decisions about future career goals.

To apply, students may email a cover letter with interest and dates available, a resume and three references with email contact information to tracey_rock@fws.gov
