Naturalist Internships

The Outdoor Education Center in conjunction with Antioch University offers environmental education internships two times a year (January to June and August to December). Imagine spending an academic term instilling environmental awareness with the thousand-acre nature preserve as your outdoor classroom.

Naturalist interns teach environmental and natural history curriculum to elementary and middle school students participating in the Glen Helen residential program. Educational hikes focus on environmental problem solving, geology, stream study, wildlife ecology, living history, and other related topics.

Interns earn 10 graduate or 12 undergraduate credits through Antioch University. Interns are also provided with room and board (including vegetarian and vegan friendly meals), plus a stipend of $260 per month. 

Application review is ongoing and positions are typically available every semester.  For details, or to download an application form visit the Naturalist Internship page. For questions, or additional information, contact:
