Program Overview

Hawaii is where it all started for IGS. We have teamed up with more than 30 hosts providing internships on five different islands. We have set up custom requests, including a glass-blowing placement. And we have stayed mainstream with coral reef research with top scientists. Among this mix are placements in physical rehabilitation, financial planning, and even work at a surf school.

Hawaii has been great to our clients and to IGS. Favorite excursions have included the Big Island and Volcanoes National Park. Our Founder, Dr. David Adams, once led a group of students to an eruption site. Back in the '90s, you were allowed to walk over the freshly crusted lava as it emptied into the sea. Tourists returned with partially melted shoes and photos of the lava flowing literally below their feet. Put that down in the “What was the Park Service thinking?” file. For those who walked the steamy paths, their soles/souls were forever touched.

My introverted self was able to adjust easily

We worked in the IT field in Hawaii and worked with a very respected IT team. Hawaii’s culture is always happy and people are very hospitable. My fellow interns are diverse. Some are from Hawaii itself, some from US, and some from Japan. I like that I get to meet people with the same ideas as me. Wanna say thanks to the IGS team for making this happen. My introverted self was able to adjust and it will always be something I would cherish. Kudos!

Excursions to the eruptions sites of Big Island and volcanoes national park

We had an excursion to the eruption sites of Big Island and Volcanoes National Park. My main fields of interest are arts and archaeology so this is so overwhelming for me. Only downside is that I wanted the internship to be longer. I could have stayed much longer. It was full of fun and great people.

Hawaii is amazing

I had an internship with coral reef research with top scientists. Dr. Adams is very approachable and eager to help us have our dream placements. I’m really happy I gave this a try. Thanks to IGS and all its staff. Hawaii is amazing!
