Interested agencies should contact the ES Program Intern Coordinator if they are interested in working with one or more ES students throughout the year.

Internship Opportunities
Undergraduates within the ES Program and UCSB receive a broad education in a number of natural, physical, and social science disciplines. This background makes them ideal for serving in volunteer or
docent positions as well as naturalists in a wide variety of organizations and agencies. Our internship course within the ES Program coordinates the student's experience as an intern with their educational goals and helps both the agency and student obtain the most from their experience.
