Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center Internships 

An internship at Greenwood provides the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with many different wildlife species.  Interns will learn skills such as handling techniques, cleaning and sterilization procedures, habitat enrichment, diets, food preparation, and feeding methods, and will assist experienced rehab staff with treatment procedures.

Our internships are intended to provide experience and on-the-job training in basic rehab skills, not to teach veterinary medicine.

As an intern at Greenwood, you will be expected to work hard and get your hands dirty! There is a lot to learn from our wild patients through daily feeding and cleaning activities, but we need people who are really willing to take the initiative, learn, and get messy in the process.
