The practicum will help you identify your passions, cultivate your skills in the field, and prepare you for your future as an employee and a person in the world. View available positions below.

“A Rocha isn’t just an environmental organization, it’s holistic in its work.”

Is this practicum for me?

My program requires a placement or internship...

If your studies require ‘volunteer hours’, ‘experiential learning’, a ‘practicum placement’ or an ‘internship’, the A Rocha Practicum is for you. You bring the academic credit through your institution and A Rocha provides the hands-on experience!

This is an unpaid practicum experience, but if you’re interested in a paid position, check out “Can I spend a summer with A Rocha?” below.

I'm not sure if my program aligns with A Rocha's work...
