EPA Student Internships

EPA Student Internships are available to high school students and college students. Internship positions range from administrative/clerical positions as well as technical positions in areas such as life sciences, program or policy analysis, and engineering.

Summer internships are paid opportunities for students to learn more about the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Summer internships are offered in Washington, D.C. as well as in regional offices, labs and research centers throughout the nation. Internships are paid, although some may be volunteer.
All EPA paid internships are published in the government-wide USAJobs.gov portal. Most internship opportunities for the summer are advertised in March, April and May but some may be advertised earlier. To apply, students should create an account on the USAJobs.gov portal and upload their resume and transcripts. Positions are typically advertised for 1-2 weeks only, so students need to act quickly. Interns work an average of 640 hours at locations across the nation.
