Here at Alturas, we believe in the positive impact an internship can have on a person’s studies and career development. That’s why we want to allow you to participate in independent research specific to your interests while also taking care of daily needs in the sanctuary and rehabilitation center. Our goal is to tailor the internship experience to each individual so they can leave feeling like they’ve taken a definitive step towards their future goals.
