Internship Program
We are offering 10 animal care internship positions for summer/fall 2007. Please read the information in this section before printing out an application form, and mailing it to us along with the required essay and current resume. Closing date for applications is Feb 28th 2007.
In the future, we hope to offer internships in the education and research aspects of our work, but these are not available at this time.
An internship at Wolf Hollow provides the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with many different wildlife species and to learn skills such as handling techniques, diets, food preparation and feeding methods and to assist experienced rehab. staff with treatment procedures. Our internships are intended to provide on-the-job training in basic rehab skills, not to teach advanced veterinary theory or techniques.
We hope a working internship will help interns to examine wildlife career opportunities. In return, we expect to work with enthusiastic, mature, hard working people who will become an integral part of the working staff at Wolf Hollow during their internship. Most of our interns come from biology, wildlife management, veterinary medicine, veterinary technician or environmental education fields, but we will consider interns from any background. We believe that a strong interest in wildlife, enthusiasm and willingness to learn are more important than academic qualifications.
If you have any further questions about internships at Wolf Hollow please do not hesitate to call (360-378-5000) or send email to saitken@wolfhollowwildlife.org. Our telephone number is (360) 378-5000 (Ask for Shona). We do appreciate if you can keep time-zone differences in mind -- please call between 9 am and 5pm PST.
Thank you for your interest.
