Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm is located ten miles north of Dayton, Ohio along a river valley that holds the Stillwater River. Our 350 acres of natural areas and organic farm provide outstanding learning opportunities in a diverse and beautiful setting. The land starts atop flat farmland and leads down through woods, prairie, pond and meadow to the level of the river. Internships have been a part of our program for over thirty years.

An Aullwood internship is a full time responsibility that lasts anywhere from ten weeks to one year. Duties primarily take place on weekdays but also on some weekends and evenings.

Duration: Two or more sessions can be combined for a longer internship.

Essential Functions:
Interns are involved in all aspects of the operation of a nature center. Primary responsibility is environmental education. Interns develop and teach programs to school groups, from pre-school through high school. During the summer interns develop and teach a variety of classes as part of our summer program. Interns plan and conduct programs for the general public and assist with special events and off-site exhibits/booths. Interns help care for resident animals at the center and care for livestock at the farm with weekly farm chores. Interns also identify, initiate and complete an approved project around a chosen field of interest, and serve in other capacities as needed to assist with day to day operations.
