VCHS Opportunity to Serve as an intern this summer at Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley

Summer 2023 wildlife rehabilitation internship here at the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley in San Jose. Please pass this information along to anyone who you think may be interested.
 This is an unpaid on-the-job learning opportunity for dedicated, hard-working individuals interested in wildlife rehabilitation. Interested individuals can apply on our website. Applicants must be 16 years of age or older. Once applications are screened, we will contact selected applicants to schedule an interview. The application, along with additional information including a quick video, is available at http://wcsv.org/intern. Please email any questions to intern@wcsv.org. Applications are due February 28, 2023.
 Accepted interns will be on-site for three days per week for 12 weeks, and are expected to attend discussion groups every other week. Four different internship terms are available to accommodate a variety of school schedules. Interns will work closely with our Animal Care staff and receive instruction on all aspects of Wildlife Rehabilitation: examination, medication, wound care, treatment, housing, and diet. There will be a final exam upon completion of the internship.
 The schedules for internship terms 2 and 3 have been carefully designed to accommodate as many local colleges and universities as possible. We understand that most high school summer breaks are only 10 weeks long. While we are unable to make significant schedule accommodations due to the nature of the internship, we can work with exceptional applicants from local high schools if they are still able to attend the Saturday meetings.
 
We also invite anyone who is unable to commit to applying for the internship to check out our volunteer program. This is a much smaller time commitment of one four-hour shift per week, and details are available here: http://wcsv.org/volunteer
