Wildlife Park Internship

Wildlife Park Internship- Spring or Summer

Howell Nature Center's Wildlife Park is home to over 70 animals, most of which are native to Michigan, that cannot survive in the wild. They serve as ambassadors for their species to help teach people how to co-exist with wildlife.

Interns assist in the care of ambassadors, including cleaning and maintaining enclosures, preparing and feeding diets, providing enrichment, observing behavior, and administering medication. Interns also assist with general cleaning and housekeeping duties.
