Internships

AGFC Internship Program

All funds for AGFC internships come from the sale of conservation license plates, helping to enlist students from a broad range of academic majors.

The AGFC Internship program helps students gain education and practical experience related to conservation and hands-on training requirements necessary for some degrees in the conservation field. This training is critical to students pursuing a conservation career and is often the deciding factor in gaining employment after college.

The AGFC Internship program operates under these guidelines:

• Internships are up to 360 hours and paid an established hourly rate of $14-$15 per hour.
• Selected interns will coordinate directly with their college or university to obtain course credit for the internship.
• Applicants must meet the following prerequisites:
  • Must have a declared degree in a conservation field;
  • Must have 60 hours of college credits earned by the time the internship begins;
  • Must be a college student at the time of application or have graduated within the previous 12 months;
  • Must be at least 18 years of age when the internship begins; and
  • Must have a 2.5 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
