KBO is Seeking a Jackson County High School Student for a Unique Paid Internship
Klamath Bird Observatory (KBO) is excited to offer a new paid internship this summer: The Watchable Wildlife Foundation Science Communication Student Internship. This is the first internship of its kind to be offered by KBO, made possible through a generous grant from the Watchable Wildlife Foundation. The intern will gain firsthand experience in conservation careers, observe and document KBO field activities, and contribute to community science and education that support bird and habitat conservation. This internship will provide an extraordinary experience as the intern explores various careers in conservation and outdoor work and begins to build a professional network that can help them find education and job opportunities in the future.
Jackson County students who expect to graduate in 2021 and 2022 who are over the age of 16 are eligible to apply. The full-time internship will run over the summer break from approximately June 28 to August 20, 2021 (about 8 weeks in duration). For details, please see the most up-to-date version of the full Job Announcement here. While we will require current transcripts from each applicant, all students who are confident that they are a good match for the position are encouraged to apply, regardless of GPA, test scores, or other traditional metrics of achievement. Students attending traditional schools, home-schools, charter schools, and other types of learning programs in Jackson County are welcome to apply.
