2026 Conservation Internships in California

Does it irk you that nearly all the glaciers in the state of Alaska are melting? Are you a composting, CFL-using, hybrid-driving environmental enthusiast? Channel your passion for the earth by pursuing a conservation internship. Interning in the conservation industry is a rewarding experience. As a conservation intern, you can participate in fieldwork, studying the effects of oil spills on species in the Gulf of Mexico. If you are an engineer, consider working for a solar company as a systems engineer measuring capacity of solar farms and flows of power to the electric grid. Are you an architecture major, interested in being involved real estate, or maybe an aspiring construction engineer? If so, you should note that green buildings are expected to represent a whopping 55 percent of all commercial and institutional construction projects by 2020. Recent analysis by the Brookings Institution indicates that green jobs outpaced the job growth of the greater economy by two-to-one during the recessive years of 2008-2010 . With those numbers, who wouldn’t bet on the continuing availability of internships in conservation and sustainability? Regardless of your background, there is a place for you to contribute to the progression towards a cleaner, more sustainable planet.
