The NEW Zoo is currently recruiting interns! This is a unique opportunity for students to gain practical experience in a zoological setting. Internships can be taken for academic credit, based on guidelines from your education institution. All internships are non-paid and duration varies.  Anyone over the age of 18 can participate in an internship, provided you have the right qualifications and dedication!  Preference is given to applicants looking to earn course credit when Internship opportunities are limited.

Internship Requirements

All interns should dedicate a reasonable number of hours to the NEW Zoo organization. We recommend 25-35 hours per week during full-time (typically Summer) Internships (averages a minimum of 300 hours total) and 10-15 hours per week during part-time (typically Fall and Spring) semester Internships (minimum of 150 hours total).  Scheduling is flexible, however; we are willing to work with students to accommodate class and work schedules as needed.  We have been able to accommodate interested individuals, who are dedicated and hard-working when here, on a more part-time basis during all semesters/seasons.

Interns must also complete an “Intern Project” to benefit the Zoo. Projects must be completed within thirty days after the last day of the student’s internship. Each intern will be assigned a project by the Education Programs Coordinator. Project assignments will vary and will be based on the intern’s skills and interests, as well as the needs of the NEW Zoo at the time of the internship.

Summer Interns can inquire about affordable housing opportunities at UWGB.  Visit this page for info.
