Environmental, Ecology, & Horticulture Internship Programs

Adelante Abroad offers Ecology, Environmental, and Horticulture Internships Abroad, where candidates will travel and gain real international work experience. Think… wind power in Madrid, solar energy in Chile, turtle conservation in Uruguay, a non-profit that advocates for lower energy consumption in Barcelona. These are all examples of customized placements in this interesting field.

Interested in Environmental Science? Love to travel? Want to volunteer with ecology-focused organizations? We have programs just for you.

In Montevideo, Ecology candidates will volunteer at a turtle research station within the zoo. The research center’s main objective is to observe and determine the approximate numbers and general habits of juvenile green turtles in the zone, and the volunteer’s role is to participate in the daily collection of data, following the guidance of the research coordinators.

Environmental science and ecology candidates interested in interning in Oaxaca will work with an established organization that focuses on water issues for the Central Valleys of Oaxaca. The main goal of this international internship is to merge modern knowledge and technology with the social structure and wisdom of traditional communities. Offices are located in downtown Oaxaca and projects are available for all levels of Spanish. Interns must be self-motivated, mature, and able to work independently as well as in a group.

In Scotland, students will participate in a variety of experiences in horticulture, plants, and gardening at either a college or public garden, in the Highlands. Students who participate in this 5 week program will either assist with the Royal Botanic Gardens, work in the Plant Hunters Garden, or at the Royal Zoological Society.

Due to similarities in fields, candidates interested in interior design internships abroad also chose and enjoy this sector.

These are not your only options. There are a variety of options available for candidates interested in horticulture, environmental science, and ecology.

Environmental, Ecology, and Horticulture FAQs

What Can I expect as an Environmental, Ecology, or Horticulture Intern Abroad?

During an environmental or ecology internship abroad, you might assist with conservation projects, wildlife monitoring, habitat restoration, or sustainability initiatives. Many interns help collect data on biodiversity, support local NGOs, and learn about international environmental policies. Each placement is unique, offering hands-on experience in global environmental protection and ecosystem management.

What is the pricing for an Internship in Environmental, Ecology and Horticulture?

Pricing for an environmental, ecology, or horticulture internship depends on where you will be participating in the internship and how long you will be abroad. Pricing for our programs differs from country to country. Do you want to travel for 2 months or 6 months? This will change the internship program price as well. You can find out more on pricing here.

Where can I go for an environmental or horticulture internship abroad?

We offer environmental, ecology, and horticulture internships in countries like Madrid, Chile, Barcelona, Uruguay, and Scotland, with each destination providing a different ecosystem and cultural experience. For example, you might study solar energy along the Chilean coast, work on wind power projects in Madrid, contribute to low energy consumption in Barcelona, or work at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Edenborough, Scotland.

How long are environmental and horticulture internships abroad?

Our environmental, ecology, and horticulture internships range from five weeks to six months, depending on your goals and the host organization. Our five week program is only offered in Scotland during the summer. All of our other internship programs are at least 2 months long. The longer you are abroad, the more you get out of your internship. Summer internships abroad are especially popular with university students, while recent graduates often choose longer placements for more in-depth experience.

What makes interning abroad in environmental studies different from interning locally?

Imagine Mediterranean climates, or the year long, rainy climate of Scotland. the environment in each different country differs drastically. Some countries focus more on sustainability than others and some locations are closer to the coast.

An environmental internship abroad exposes you to global sustainability challenges, different ecosystems, and international conservation practices. You’ll work alongside local experts and communities tackling environmental issues unique to their region, giving you a broader perspective and stronger resume.
