Position Summary
In accordance with the mission of the Willistown Conservation Trust (WCT), the Foundations in Conservation Internship program aims to inspire and educate future conservation and environmental leaders from diverse backgrounds. This program provides a platform for traditionally underrepresented college students and graduates in the conservation field – including, but not limited to individuals who identify as Asian, Black, Latinx, Indigenous, or multiracial – to engage in and help shape WCT’s conservation work. Conservation Associates will participate in a four-month paid internship, gaining real-world, hands-on experience, receiving professional mentorship, and participating in networking opportunities designed to equip students with a strong foundation for successful careers in conservation and beyond.

Using Rushton Woods Preserve as a campus, the Conservation Associate will have the opportunity to participate in each of the Trust’s program areas – Land Stewardship, Land Protection, Watershed Protection, Bird Conservation, and Community Farm.
