Job Description

Internship opportunities are available every semester. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.

The Quantico Conservation Volunteer Program (CVP) engages community members, veterans, and students in hands-on conservation, habitat restoration, and environmental education projects that support Marine Corps Base Quantico’s natural resource management goals. We are seeking a motivated and organized Conservation Outreach Intern to help grow and strengthen this dynamic program.

This internship is ideal for students pursuing degrees in nonprofit management, environmental studies, conservation, or communications , and provides professional experience in volunteer coordination, outreach, and environmental program support within a federal installation setting.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assist with helping coordinate opportunities in habitat restoration, trail maintenance, wildlife monitoring, and more.
  • Develop and share communications materials—including volunteer newsletters and event flyers—to highlight program activities and conservation outcomes.
  • Support orientation sessions and special events, helping ensure volunteers are well-informed, safe, and engaged.
  • Help maintain volunteer records and data tracking systems to document participation and impact metrics.
  • Contribute to program improvement efforts, such as developing recognition initiatives and refining standard operating procedures.
  • Participate in conservation field days or educational activities to gain hands-on understanding of volunteer-supported projects.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the internship, the Volunteer Coordination Intern will:

  • Understand the principles of effective volunteer management.
  • Gain experience in nonprofit operations and program communications.
  • Build skills in community engagement, leadership, and teamwork.
  • Strengthen their knowledge of natural resource management and environmental stewardship in a federal context.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Coursework or experience in nonprofit management, environmental studies, conservation, communications, or related fields.
  • Strong interpersonal and organizational skills.
  • Comfort working both independently and as part of a team.
  • Familiarity with digital tools such as Canva and Google Suite is a plus.
  • A genuine interest in conservation, volunteer engagement, and public service.

Benefits

  • Meaningful experience working with conservation professionals and volunteers.
  • Mentorship in both volunteer management and environmental program coordination.
  • Eligibility for academic credit.
  • Flexible scheduling to accommodate coursework.

We prefer to work with interns who are earning course credit and/or those who would like to conduct independent research on base, simply because we recognize unpaid internships can be a hardship. But earning credit is not necessary. With course-credit internships, we ask interns to commit to at least 50 hours across a semester. For non-course credit internships, we ask interns to commit to at least 50 hours across three months.
