Work with our animal care and veterinary staff as well as our animal husbandry volunteers to provide care for our patients, which primarily consist of harbor seals. In addition to patient care, interns will assist with post-mortem examinations, medical record-keeping and possibly field work and response. Interns will also develop and conduct a marine mammal research project.

This is a two- to three-month long, full-time, unpaid position. Housing is not available, and the intern is responsible for having reliable transportation. Due to the seasonal nature of our patients, internships are available from June through November. Each internship opportunity may vary slightly depending upon our patient load and other factors.

Applications for 2025 are now closed. Apply for the 2026 season.

Work with our Communication and Education Coordinator to lead programs focused on marine mammal stewardship and inspire people to take marine conservation actions. In addition to engaging with community members at outreach events, interns will lead solo and volunteer-based beach education, help with the maintenance and inventory of educational materials, and assist with training and supporting outreach volunteers. Interns will also assist with fundraising events and administrative tasks as needed.
