Internships

Develop professional skills and learn about the animal protection field through hands-on work, educational experiences and mentorship with some of the world’s top animal welfare experts.

We offer a wide range of internships, such as clerking in our Animal Protection Law department, providing care to sanctuary animals at our world-renowned Black Beauty Ranch in Texas, learning about legislative and regulatory processes, honing campaign skills, sharpening media relations techniques and even learning hands-on techniques and skills for assisting wildlife in peril. Plus, many of our internships are remote, so you can work for us without having to relocate!

Don't see something you want? Be sure to check back regularly, as different internship opportunities may become available throughout the year.

• Meet leaders and network with staff across our family of organizations to help deepen your understanding of animal protection issues and the challenges and rewards of this work.
• Attend and participate in a variety of staff presentations and meetings, including a compassion fatigue workshop to help you stay resilient and productive in the animal protection field for the long term.
• Learn insider information about the recruitment process and have a career development discussion with a member of our human resources team.
• Take advantage of complimentary attendance at Animal Care Expo, the largest international educational conference and trade show in the animal welfare field, as well as Taking Action for Animals, a leading national conference in animal advocacy.
