Internships

Blue Ridge PRISM is a hard-working, team-oriented, conservation organization committed to improving the health of our natural world for future generations. We welcome interns with the same qualities.

Our unpaid internships are highly competitive and typically offered to undergraduate candidates with specialized skills and relevant experience.

Virtual internship opportunities:

• Video production

• Invasive plant photography

• Invasive plant research and app development

• Grant research

• Grant writing

We offer three internship cycles a year:

• Winter: January to May

• Summer: June to August

• Fall: September to December

Specific dates are flexible, but internships remain the same from cycle to cycle. 

Preference will be given to interns who can commit at least ten hours a week.

If you are seeking credit for this internship, we are pleased to work with you and your school.

To apply: send your resume, a writing sample (school assignments are fine), and a cover letter that clearly states what position you are seeking, why you are suited for it, and what specific skills you can bring to PRISM to lauren@blueridgeprism.org. Due to the volume of applications we receive, we cannot guarantee a response to every one. If you are a strong candidate, we will be in touch to schedule an interview. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Internships are open until filled.

Thank you for your interest in joining our team!
