LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas college students looking to get their feet wet in conservation have the perfect opportunity to work alongside Arkansas Game and Fish Commission experts and get paid for the experience. The AGFC summer internship application window is open until March 15, 2026, atwww.agfc.com/internships.
The internships, funded by sales of the AGFC’s Conservation License Plates, not only give students the opportunity to build their resumes, but also enable them to see firsthand what their future career may look like.
“You won’t just be spending a summer stuffing envelopes or cutting the grass,” Becky Bloomfield, internship and scholarship program coordinator for the AGFC, said. “Our interns work right alongside the people in the field, and their supervisors send them out with a variety of AGFC staff to give them a well-rounded experience of what working for conservation is all about.”
Internships are available across the state in conservation education, wildlife management, fisheries management, information technology and geographic information systems, conservation research, environmental policy and wildlife law enforcement.
Applicants must include the following in their application packet:
- A current resume,
- A copy of your transcript (official transcripts must be sent by the college before the start date of your employment), and
- A one-page cover letter including your background, goals and how an internship will help you reach those goals.
Visit www.agfc.com/internships for more information on the internship program and a list of openings for 2026.
