Internships/Volunteer Opportunities

The Wild Salmon Center welcomes proposals for internships or volunteers. In the past, we have benefited from interns with a variety of backgrounds: GIS, Russian language skills, legal training, conservation biology, and archiving (text and image) experience. Most interns have been based at our Portland headquarters office, although there may be options for supporting our Seattle and Moscow offices as well. Please contact us to inform us of your interest, background, and specific projects or topic areas to which you could contribute.

Benefits

The Wild Salmon Center is willing to work with students and faculty to arrange college credit opportunities. We offer public transit passes, an exciting and varied working environment, periodic lectures and events, and a superb introduction to work in an international conservation organization. We regret that we cannot offer paying internships, but encourage potential interns to seek support from their universities or foundations.
