Internships and Jobs with National Wildlife Federation

Taken from their page:
"Through the Internship program, the National Wildlife Federation brings students and recent graduates to its offices nationwide, where they can experience many aspects of NWF's conservation mission, including work on endangered species, land stewardship, and protecting our nation's water. Departments benefiting from the skills interns provide include conservation, education, fundraising, communications, legal and publications.
Working side-by-side with knowledgeable professionals and receiving support from the internship coordinator, interns develop a variety of professional and personal life skills. Internship projects support commonsense conservation in communities and throughout the nation. For undergraduates or those returning to higher education after an internship, NWF's Campus Ecology Fellowship program offers the chance to apply these new skills to practical campus projects.
Founded in 1936, NWF is the nation's largest member-supported conservation organization, with nine field offices, as well as the National Advocacy Center in Washington, DC. The National Wildlife Federation provides extensive opportunities for professional development within its organization and beyond.
By encouraging innovative ideas and multicultural perspectives, NWF provides a gateway through which you can launch an effective career in conservation and strengthen the environmental movement at the same time. Moreover, by diversifying our organization through the contributions of interns from a variety of backgrounds, NWF (and ultimately the conservation community) is learning important lessons for making conservation relevant and effective in the 21st century."

NatureServe is a non-profit conservation organization whose mission is to provide the scientific basis for effective conservation action. NatureServe and its network of natural heritage programs are the leading source for information about rare and endangered species and threatened ecosystems.
NatureServe represents an international network of biological inventories-known as natural heritage programs or conservation data centers-operating in all 50 U.S. states, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. Together we not only collect and manage detailed local information on plants, animals, and ecosystems, but develop information products, data management tools, and conservation services to help meet local, national, and global conservation needs. The objective scientific information about species and ecosystems developed by NatureServe is used by all sectors of society-conservation groups, government agencies, corporations, academia, and the public-to make informed decisions about managing our natural resources.
