Join our team! The Florida grasshopper sparrow ( Ammodramus savannarum floridanus ) is one of the most endangered birds in North America. Since 2019, White Oak has bred and released over 1,000 sparrows. White Oak's minimal handling management model has led to sparrows that survive post-release and thrive, continuing future generations in the wild. This recovery program has robust partnerships with organizations including the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Interns experience this conservation program first-hand, working side-by-side with staff at White Oak. Focusing on ex situ animal care, interns work with sparrows through breeding seasons and winters, maintaining habitats, completing daily care needs and conducting observations. While interns see field team members and wildlife biologists during their internship, interns are not guaranteed the opportunity to observe the in-situ aspects of the program that are managed by partner organizations. The Florida Grasshopper Sparrow Conservation Internship requires a high degree of flexibility and a commitment to the assigned schedule and duties of the program. We are proud to have graduates who now work in field crews, zoological facilities, or who have pursued higher education in graduate programs focused on conservation. Career-Ready Skills & Learning Opportunities Interns are provided with a variety of technical skills and knowledge that makes them excellent candidates for roles in conservation facilities such as: Diet preparation, insect management, feeding, and cleaning Bird introductions and management Observation skills and knowledge of sparrow behavior, including identifying vocalizations and tracking individual birds by colored band Safe avian capture, hand restraint, and transportation Habitat maintenance including landscaping and fabrication Research skills including sample collection, camera trapping, video monitoring, rigorous daily data management, and reporting General reintroduction techniques including pre-release conditioning Artificial incubation and hatching (Summer only) Egg management and candling (Summer only) Hand-rearing passerines as needed (Summer only) Non-chemical fire ant control methods (Winter only) Prescribed fire techniques and participation (Winter only) Eligibility Requirements Applicants must meet all requirements and submit an online application including all required materials to be considered.
