In Montevideo, Ecology candidates will volunteer at a turtle research station within the zoo.

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.

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.
