A. Paul Knight Internship Program in Conservation
Interested in conservation and the environment? Love the outdoors? Apply to be a W&L Knight Intern in Conservation. The Knight Program is open to all W&L first-years, sophomores, and juniors in any major and includes housing and a stipend. Knight Interns work for 10 weeks for one of three conservation organizations in Idaho. Those three organizations are: The Henry's Fork Foundation (1 intern), Friends of Harriman State Park (1 intern), and The Nature Conservancy at Flat Ranch (2 interns). Due to the remote location of these internships, applicants must have their own private vehicles that they can take to Idaho. The deadline for applications every year is January 27.
Student Testimonies
The A. Paul Knight Internship was the best summer of my life. I had an unbelievable experience that I won’t soon forget. The opportunity to work with such a neat conservation organization such as the Henry’s Fork Foundation has opened my eyes to all different sorts of conservation techniques and really cool people.
