The Education Department’s Teaching Fellowship program is a unique opportunity for college students, recent graduates, and graduate students to explore conservation education in-depth. Fellows acquire the skills needed to provide a wildlife classroom that invites and fosters student-directed learning, and they learn pertinent information about conservation issues that have a global impact. Emphasis is placed on the Wildlife Conservation Society’s efforts to protect wildlife and wild lands.

Currently only summer terms are available:

Summer term – starts in June and runs for 12 weeks; fellows must be able to work Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. for all 11 weeks.
