We will be advertising for our Spring 2025 Internship in October 2024 so please check back then if you’re interested in applying! Our most recent job posting (now closed) for internships can be accessed here.

Our Desert Wildlife Internship Program provides a semester-long part-time paid internship to students (junior and senior in high school through college/university level) and new/early career professionals with less than three years of employment experience.

Desert Wildlife Interns help manage our wildlife camera monitoring data and also actively contribute to meaningful conservation projects to protect wildlife and open spaces. They are mentored by CSDP staff, both collaboratively and independently completing tasks, and are encouraged to pursue a specific area of interest through a chosen final project.

Thank you to the Deupree Family Foundation for funding this internship program.
