The Power of Internships!

Internships aren't just about "making coffee runs or filing paperwork"; they're about diving headfirst into real-world experiences, gaining invaluable skills, and making memories that last a lifetime 🌎✨. 

Why Internships Matter

• Hands-On Experience: Internships allow you to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on experience in your field of interest. Whether you're passionate about wildlife conservation, education, hands-on work, art, business, etc, they will all have an impact on your life.  This is your opportunity to get out there and test what works for you. ​

• Personal Growth: Internships aren't just about building your resume; they're also about building character. From stepping out of your comfort zone to tackling real-world challenges, internships push you to grow personally and professionally, setting you up for success in whatever path you choose to pursue.

​Student Takeaways:

• "It has really helped me do some of the things I wanted to do but wasn't comfortable with in the past."   
• "I can do more than I make myself believe that I can." 

• "Really trying to dive deep into what's the most optimal way for me to function. Testing things, learning how to fail, learning how to bounce back from those failures." 

• "The hands on experience was so helpful, pretty much anything you could think would be put together. Once I knew what I wanted to learn I could engage and see it through.  We talked a lot about responsibility and how to be a functional adult, and I was able to put that into action at the wildlife refuge. It was a safe environment where I could put myself out there and learn from that real world experience."
