Why intern at the American Bald Eagle Foundation? Every year we accept four to six individuals from across the country for our Shirley Internship Program. The internship  takes place at the ABEF natural history museum and raptor center in Haines, Alaska. The museum houses more than 200 specimens which exhibit Southeast Alaskan wildlife, culture, history, geology, and more. The raptor center is home to 10 live raptors who work as ambassadors for their species. Interns have the opportunity to learn about raptors and the natural history of Southeast Alaska. This internship is for individuals interested in wildlife and conservation education, natural history, museums, and or raptor care. We offer hands-on experience in animal husbandry, raptor handling, avian enrichment, public speaking,
