High School Graduates only please. Please note that all internships are unpaid.
Our career internship program is one of the many ways the Philadelphia Zoo demonstrates a commitment to its mission of conservation, education, science and recreation. Through our internships, we provide practical, high-quality experiences that help you achieve your academic and professional goals. Recent college graduates and career changers are encouraged to apply.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, we do not have application deadlines for our internships. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and positions are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
