What does it take to be an intern at Hawk Creek?

If you have a passion for the natural world and a positive attitude then you’re already heading in the right direction! However, there are some important considerations to take into account if you think this may be the job for you. Most of the work performed is outside, and may require some heavy lifting, so you must be physically capable of performing the job. In order to gain the most from your experience, a certain amount of dedication is required. We are looking for motivated, reliable, and passionate people who can work independently or with our team. For students, you must have a B average (3.0). Majoring in a field related to the internship for which you are applying is preferred, though not required. This opportunity is also open to adults wanting to expand their knowledge in their field or interested in a career change.

*Furnished housing is provided for full time interns (on site).* Transportation is recommended.

Must be over 18 years old, 3 months full time or 6 months part time.
