Zilkha Center Internships

The Zilkha Center hires paid student interns during the academic year and the summer to work on campus sustainability projects. Our internship program engages students in the vital work of sustainability on campus while teaching students how to navigate institutional change. We seek to pursue diversity, equity and inclusion both in how we run our program and in how engage with environmental issues.
Summer interns work 35-40 hours per week, and engage in discussions, local field trips, work days, and community meals. Academic interns work 5-10 hours per week and receive trainings on campus sustainability. All interns are paired with a Zilkha Center staff member for weekly mentoring and project support.
