Internships and Volunteering
It is not enough to just take classes. By doing an internship and volunteering, you gain valuable experience, learn important skills, and make important connections. Find an internship and volunteering opportunity that fits your interests and goals and be and active part of our community of engagement.
Internships and volunteering are invaluable. Through them you
learn what you do (and do not) want to do after graduation, gain
experience that prepares you for a career, learn important skills, make you more attractive to
employers and graduate schools, and often they involve providing service
to the community.
There are many different kinds of environmental internships and volunteer possibilities. Learn what kinds are out there and keep abreast of what
openings there are.
NOTE: To get academic credit in ES for an internship, you must make arrangements in advance and sign up for ES 300 or 301, taught by Chrissy Lambie of Career Services. Contact her at lambiec@uwosh.edu. Click here to see the internship contract. And click here for a brochure about internships.
