Other opportunities may occur throughout the year since positions available vary depending on department needs. See below for a list of current positions available.

 

The Human Resources Department administers the Internship program at the Zoo and Zoombezi Bay, but interns will report directly to individual supervisors in the various departments. We do not provide housing for our interns. It is the responsibility of the intern to arrange and pay for housing and all other associated costs of living for the duration of the internship. All positions will remain open until filled.
