Internships

The Greenburgh Nature Center (GNC) offers two six-month internships annually. One runs that January through June and one that runs July through December.

The GNC is located in a suburb only 40 minutes north of New York City. We have a live animal museum, two exhibit rooms and walking trails on the surrounding 33-acre property.

The primary role of the intern is to teach nature and animal programs to children between the ages of 2-8.

We provide training for our nature education and the care of our animals.
