The Chattanooga Zoo's 15 week-long internships are offered every Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters. The program requires a minimum of 180 service hours, and enrichment or educational project. Interns will receive on-the-job training, have access to training via the San Diego Zoo Global Academy, and learn priceless AZA zoo knowledge. Applicants must have earned enough college credits to be considered a sophomore.
ANIMAL CARE INTERNS
Animal care Interns work side by side with a zookeeper learning about daily husbandry, training, medical and maintenance of animals and their habitats. Interns are responsible for learning routines, animal observances, assisting with training and enrichment, and conducting research projects.
Other Departmental Interns
Marketing, Accounting, and Education Internships are available too.
