Help Fund my Conservation Internship!
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Kalysha Clark and I am a sophomore at North Carolina State University, majoring in Zoology with a minor in Nonprofit Studies. After graduating from college, I aspire to work with conservation biology, aiming to protect endangered species and their habitats. I have accepted a Conservation Internship at the Piedmont Wildlife Center in Durham, NC. As an intern, I will be involved in the following:
-Learning raptor care and handling
-Assisting with coordinating BioBlitz, a 24 hour species inventory
-Participate in an ongoing study on wild Eastern Box Turtle populations, including learning how to use Radio Telemetry
-Assist with coordinating WildNet, a community based wildlife rehabilitation program
-Learn basic care of the center's education animals
-Participate in summer outreach programs
-Participate in conservation efforts that include: installing and assembling nest boxes, constructing wildlife gardens, and biological inventory
Additionally, as an intern, I have the opportunity to take any environmental and conservation classes offered by the center.
The internship is unpaid and about 30 minutes from my home. I will not be able to hold a part-time job because I am trying to take summer classes.
Your donations will help me to be able to pay for gas to and from the center and help cover the cost of utilities if needed. It will also help me purchase affordable work boots and work gear, which will be necessary to the internship as it is mostly outside in the woods. The goal is calculated as if the internship paid around $8.50/hr.
Thank you in advance.
