California Wolf Center Internship Program

The California Wolf Center's Internship Program offers students and professionals a on-of-a-kind educational experience by providing the opportunity to work with a non-profit wildlife organization. Interns can participate in all aspects of our daily operation, including animal care, research, education, development, administration, and facilities maintenance. Specific experiences can be structured to meet the academic and professional goals of the intern. It may be possible for interns to propose, design, conduct and present the results of research projects at the Center.

Internships normally require a time commitment of 21 hours per week for 16 weeks, but other arrangements may be possible depending on the individual needs and goals of the intern. Interns must be available for at least 4 hours on Saturdays or Sundays. A plan for completing the remaining hours will be arranged with our General Manager. Most work takes place at the facility in Julian, CA. The internship is unpaid, and all interns are responsible for their own housing and transportation.

To apply for the internship program, please submit a resume and cover letter to the General Manager. Submissions may be , faxed to 760-888-0333, or mailed to California Wolf Center, Attn: Internship Program, PO Box 1389, Julian, CA 92036. For more information, please call 760-765-0030 or .
