Internships at Autrey Mill Nature Preserve

Autrey Mill is very thankful for the support, creativity, and dedication of interns. The Nature and Heritage Center couldn’t have blossomed without countless hours provided by the community. If you are interested in the natural environment, animals, education, and heritage please review our internship program below.

An internship is a special opportunity to learn valuable skills related to a specialized field of interest. This opportunity is designed for individuals seeking higher education and career opportunities. Interns will receive a mentorship and tasks customized to fit their interests and needs for an enriching experience.

If this program sounds like something you are looking for, please email info@autreymill.org.

General Internship Information:

  • Interns must be 17 years of age or older
  • Upon acceptance, the intern and mentor will meet to make a set schedule, goals, and course of learning tasks for the duration of the internship.
  • Individual internships will last varying on the schedule and needs of the intern and mentor. Durations may vary between semester lengths, seasonal, or within a reasonably proposed time.
  • At the end of the internship, a final meeting between the intern and mentor will take place. The mentor will provide the intern with a letter of recommendation and explanation of the work done during their time at Autrey Mill, and provide resume support. It may be decided to extend the internship or complete it again during a different period of time, this will also be scheduled and planned.
  • Internships can be terminated at any time by any of the Autrey Mill staff as needed. Poor attitudes, lack of determination, and further unprofessional behavior may cause a review of the internship.
  • Interns should come dressed for the weather, including appropriate footwear. Sandals are not appropriate. Non-family- friendly clothing is not acceptable for coming to work at the internship.
