Internship Program
Animal Place welcomes college or university students to the sanctuary to intern at a sanctuary setting. This is a unique opportunity, particularly for students wishing to pursue veterinary medicine or animal behavior.
The internship offers students the rare opportunity to see farmed animals behaving naturally and to observe them living freely. Students can interact with the animals as they participate in their daily care, cleaning, etc.
Interns learn about all aspects of the sanctuary as they work alongside staff members during their typical three-hour morning shift.
An educational component is included with information on current welfare concerns, veganism, factory farming and why Animal Place exists.
Currently, UC Davis students can receive credit or a transcript notation. If you are from another university or college, arrangements can be made as well.
A minimum 10-week commitment of 3 hours per week is expected and required.
