Animal Keeper Intern position at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
Description: Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge is a no-kill facility committed to rescuing abused, abandoned and unwanted Big Cats. In the twelve years of our existence we have rescued more than 150 exotic animals, giving them a caring, life-long home at the Refuge. These magnificent creatures are the unfortunate, unwanted products of the private trade in exotic animals; most of them would have been destroyed if we were not able to take them. We are constantly building large natural habitats for our growing family of Big Cats, which give them the room to run, play, and explore like never before. Turpentine Creek is accepting applications for full-time intern positions at the Refuge. B.S. or B.A. in an animal related discipline is preferred. Job Description: Animal Keeper position. Duties include cleaning cages, habitats and compound; feeding and medicating animals; assisting with maintenance, upkeep, and habitat construction; participating in occasional public promotions. Currently we care for 117 exotic cats and a variety of small animals. Compensation: Weekly cash stipend of $50 for living expenses, as well as housing on the Refuge, which has heat, air conditioning, utilities, full bath, kitchen, and a washer and dryer, satellite TV, and free long distance. New positions begin: February 1, 2008; positions last for six months, with an option to extend. Deadline for applications: November 15, 2007. To apply send your resume and cover letter to: Emily McCormack, Volunteer Program, Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, 239 Turpentine Creek Lane, Eureka Springs, AR 72632, phone: 479-253-5841, Fax: 479-253-5059, email: tigers@turpentinecreek.org.

And, an internship experience in Lawrence …  

”KVHA is working with the Jayhawk Audubon Society to develop a program called ‘Wetland Learners’. We have received a grant to coordinate 6th grader field trips to Baker Wetlands and to develop an internship style program for college students to help with said field trips. My role is to coordinate the internship component. These field trips are about 2-1/2 hours long and scheduled during the week. The 6th graders have 20 minute rotates through a variety of activity stations. Each intern will be in charge of an activity station. I'll be doing the primary training and support for the interns as they design their activity stations. As I do with the StreamLink Internship Program, we'll be looking for ways to incorporate career development with their station development. We would like the 6th graders to interact with the wetland in a cross-disciplinary fashion and are therefore recruiting students from a range of disciplines. We need 6 or so interns to pull off the season; we do not expect each intern to take part in every event. Interns are expected to attend 2 planning meetings (about 1.5 hrs each), spend time preparing their activity (about 3 hrs), and take part in at least 3 field events (about 3 hrs each). Interns are paid $50 for each field event they work. We have the funds to purchase the materials necessary for the field activity. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to develop leadership skills and learning techniques for communicating complex concepts. – Alison (Alison Reber, Kaw Valley Heritage Alliance, http://groups.google.com/group/ksriver, http://www.kvha.org, phone 785-840-0700.)
