Our Internship Program
Internships are a crucial next step for many recent graduates in the conservation field, where entry-level positions often require field experience. Yet most conservation internships are unpaid, creating a barrier for many. Young Christian scientists in particular have few opportunities to integrate their faith with their scientific calling.
We launched the A Rocha USA Conservation Internship Program in 2022 to address these needs. The goal of the program is to provide an internship experience for young Christian scientists that combines professional mentoring, leadership development, and vocational support through on-site and remote experiences. In 2024 we started partnering with the Au Sable Institute to offer this internship jointly.
