Internships

Become a part of the team achieving global impact in invertebrate research, conservation and connection.

Internship applications are now closed. Applications for Summer 2026 will open in April 2026.

Butterfly Pavilion offers a number of internships throughout the year that allow students to obtain real-world experience in the fields of entomology, horticulture, education, exhibit interpretation and more.

Butterfly Pavilion internships are typically unpaid, part-time, and seasonal, requiring a commitment of 2 – 3 days per week for 3 – 5 months.

Interns will also complete an independent project and presentation at the end of their term. University credit for internships can be earned in most cases. Students interested in a Butterfly Pavilion internship are encouraged to check the academic internship requirements at their educational institution before applying.
