College Internships​
APEC accepts undergraduate and graduate students who are required by their college or university to complete an internship project at an outside organization. We accept college interns on a case-by-case basis for fall, winter, spring, and summer sessions. Our interns have been a vital component of our education and animal care departments for many years, and we have many exciting opportunities for interns to complete projects and gain work experience.

To be considered for an internship with APEC, please complete the application below and return it to the volunteer coordinator along with a copy of your resume and a 500-word statement of purpose detailing your internship requirements and goals, the type of work you hope to do as an APEC intern, and what you hope to get out of the internship.

Please know before you apply that our internship program at this time is unpaid, and that APEC is not a scientific research facility.
College Internship Application

The environmental center is located in Alley Pond Park, surrounded by lush nature trails where visitors can enjoy NYC's natural landscapes. Guests are welcome to attend one of APEC's many nature oriented programs for all ages and visit the center's animal ambassadors. Please explore our website to learn more and register for programs.
