Internships

Learn by Doing, Contribute to Conservation

Blue Heron Headwaters Conservancy (BHHC) offers unpaid internship opportunities for college students interested in gaining hands-on experience in conservation, land stewardship, and nonprofit work.

We work with each intern to shape a project that reflects their skills, interests, and academic goals. In exchange for your time and contributions, we aim to provide meaningful, real-world experience that supports your growth and learning.

​

Areas of Experience

Interns may have the opportunity to engage in a range of projects, including:

  • Project planning

  • Land restoration and habitat work

  • Climate change-related initiatives

  • Wildlife preservation

  • Communications, including storytelling through blogging and reel creation.

  • Event planning and community outreach

  • Nonprofit administration

  • Photography and visual documentation

  • Legal Document Preparation

 

What to Expect

Internships are flexible and collaborative. You will work alongside BHHC staff and, when appropriate, volunteers and community partners. Projects may include both field-based and office-based work depending on your interests and the season.
