Vacancy Announcements:

Please check back in February for summer 2012 Eco-Week dates.

Ventana Wildlife Society is offering up to 16 one-week volunteer internships in beautiful Big Sur, California for students interested in learning more about a wildlife management and research career. Selected candidates will assist with a California Condor restoration program and selected avian research and education projects. This internship is an excellent opportunity to work directly with professional biologists and naturalists, gain exposure to endangered species management, learn a variety of avian research techniques, and explore the central California coast in five fun-filled days. Interns will have the rare opportunity for a close encounter with California Condors, a critically endangered species with the largest wingspan of any North American landbird.

No experience is necessary, but candidates should be interested in birds, enjoy being outdoors, and be physically fit. Selected interns must provide their own lodging, food, and transportation to our field office at Andrew Molera State Park. We provide a shared campsite for the week, and accommodation for one night at our remote condor sanctuary.

Internships will be filled on a first come first serve basis, but we will give preference to local college students pursuing a career in avian or wildlife ecology. To apply, email, mail or fax your application [Word or PDF] to:
