Our internships are highly competitive and typically offered to candidates with specialized skills, relevant experience, good language skills, and an interest in conservation (but see each internship for specific details).

Internship dates are flexible but should last roughly five months (one-semester term). Preference will be given to interns who can commit to at least two full days per week (15 hours) of work, but all are encouraged to apply. Interns can also intern for longer periods/ multiple semesters. The locations for our internships are flexible. Ideally, interns will be based in the DMV area (Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia), so they can work at least one day a week at Amazon Conservation’s DC office, but other remote-based arrangements are available.
