Internships at the ENC
Please note: All ENC internship positions are currently full at this time. If you’d like to be notified when future internship opportunities open, feel free to email Lori Whalen, and we’ll be happy to keep you in mind.
ENC internships are unpaid, educational opportunities designed to provide hands-on experience and professional development for students and emerging professionals.
At the Environmental Nature Center, we believe the key to unlocking human potential is the creation of opportunity. Our internship program is designed to help students and early-career professionals apply classroom learning in a real-world, mission-driven environment. Through hands-on service learning, interns gain valuable experience, explore potential career paths, and build practical skills while contributing meaningfully to environmental education and stewardship.
The ENC strives to create pathways for individuals from all cultures and backgrounds to grow as professionals, community members, and advocates for the planet.
Internships at the ENC and ENC Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary are best suited for motivated self-starters who are interested in entering one of the many growing “green collar” fields. Most internships take place during the week, Monday through Friday.
Students interested in volunteering, interning, or participating as a Field Study/Practicum student or mentee at the ENC Nature Preschool should coordinate through their educational institution or contact the ENC Nature Preschool directly.
