Get the chance to work with injured animals from the Amazon rainforest or at a shelter for sea turtles in one of our internships abroad. At the Institute for Global Studies, we help students gain invaluable work experience in their field from an international context. Wildlife shelter work can bring out the best of human nature. Connecting with abandoned animals instills a sense of accomplishment that few tasks provide. Apart from bonding with animals, gain insight into local communities and their interactions with wildlife in their area. Meet with students, residents, and the general public to learn about their customs. Common duties include food preparation, checking in animals, interpretation to the public, medical assistance, and community outreach.

Shout out to co-interns, Janna and Louis!!
by: Jane Alvarez - PhilippinesProgram: IGS Wildlife Rehabilitation InternshipsThe most memorable part of the internship was getting to see more of Brisbane during our time off. My co-interns are very friendly and intelligent! I went to Brisbane five years ago, but this time is so much better. I explored areas I never knew existed and I discovered life-long friendships with my fellow interns. Shout out to Janna and Louis, who I met through IGS. It was a wonderful time with you, and you are wonderful people. Shout out also to IGS, who is very supportive to us since day one....
Bets internship I had TBH
by: Richardson Mccoy - United StatesProgram: IGS Wildlife Rehabilitation InternshipsThis is the best summer internship I had! I am a veterinary medicine student, and here, we have gone through intensive training to learn the basics of animal care in just a few days. The training lessons are concise yet comprehensive. We are given different responsibilities and luckily converse with people who are visitors in the sanctuaries. My vetmed friends are to apply in this venture next month! I would love to go with them again! Crossed fingersssss
