Internship Opportunities at Amazon Conservation

Amazon Conservation’s team is comprised of creative, dedicated, hard-working, team-oriented professionals and we welcome interns with the same qualities.

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).

In addition to a hands-on internship experience, interning at Amazon Conservation gives you the opportunity to learn how nonprofits work and contribute to the conservation of one of the most important ecosystems in the world.

Current internship opportunities at our Washington, DC office:

  • Social Media and Communications Internship
  • English/Spanish Translation Internship

Please refer to the specific internship listing for details regarding the availability of funding for the position you are interested in. If you are seeking credit for an internship, we can work with you and your school to make that happen. We’ll be happy to serve as a reference for your job search after a successful internship.

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. Amazon Conservation operates in a hybrid work environment. 

To apply, please follow the instructions in the internship description and send all documents to applications@amazonconservation.org  Applications are accepted on a rolling basis; internships are open until filled.
