The Perennial Summer Internship Program at the Rubenstein School strives to provide valuable internship opportunities for you, Rubenstein School students, and to build and strengthen relationships with environmental companies, organizations and agencies working on critical issues. This is a competitive internship program and these 12-week, paid, credit-bearing internships range from part-time to full-time.
Most of the Perennial Internships are located in Vermont, while others may be located elsewhere in the Northeast. Rubenstein School students currently in their sophomore and junior years are eligible to apply for Perennial Internships. Students graduating in May 2024 are not eligible to apply for Perennial Internships.
Apply
Perennial Internship openings are posted each December and applications are due in early February. Rubenstein School students can apply for up to three positions.
The 2024 application process is closed.
