Our internship placements typically fall into two categories: working on the floor or conducting research and marketing behind the scenes. Floor work includes assisting the docent in the setup and interpretation of current exhibits and galleries. This may include constructing backdrops and computer modeling. Once the exhibit is in place, you are asked to learn the history of the showcased items and share your knowledge with the visiting public. Behind-the-scenes work may include conducting original research on life histories or local historical events. This may include online research and library visits.

Thailand - Coastal Marine Conservation in Phang Nga

Be part of a unique team that takes a holistic approach to marine conservation. It works on protecting the coastal and marine ecosystems that are suffering from human and natural destruction. The project also educates the local villagers, hotel workers, and dive shop owners on the important environmental issues and how to prevent further damage to the reefs. Depending on the time of year there will be different projects for volunteers to help. From November to April, the main tasks will be sea turtle conservation and beach cleanup. While May to October, which is the rainy season, the projects will be geared towards terrestrial conservation, surveying, and planting mangroves. No matter the time of year, all volunteers will have the opportunity to participate in community work, teaching English to school children, and environmental education.
