Established in the spirit of Alaska conservation pioneer Celia Hunter, ACF’s Conservation Internship Program is a strategic investment in young adults. The program is specifically targeted toward students who plan a career path in conservation and are willing to make a long-term commitment to preserving and protecting the pristine environment and diverse cultures of Alaska. Undergraduate students, graduate students, and recent grads participating in this highly competitive internship program are provided with unique opportunities to:
-
Learn firsthand about Alaska’s magnificent natural environment and diverse cultures.
-
Gain important, practical job skills in the conservation field while also helping the host organization meet its conservation program goals.
-
Help preserve and protect Alaska’s pristine environment by working with one of the many host organizations representing the state and federal government, private sector, and nonprofit organizations addressing important Alaska conservation needs.
-
Meet, network, and develop relationships with Alaska conservationists, agency personnel, local Alaskans, and other interns from across the nation.
-
Become mentors and sources of information for other students interested in Alaska conservation issues.
-
Obtain college credit (if approved by an accredited university).
The ACF Conservation Intern Program is a necessity for the future of Alaska’s wilderness and people. It is ACF’s intent to develop a pool of educated and energetic young leaders to manage the programs and inspire the nation to protect a biologically diverse and wild Alaska forever.
