High School Field Biology Internships

Spring Application Due: February 1st

Our Mission:  APEC offers the Field Biology Internship for sophomores and juniors and the Senior Independent Internship for seniors. This program is geared toward introducing students to environmental field studies in the hope of increasing a joy and understanding of the world around them, and convey these sciences to students in a manner to which they can relate.

Our Internship: During this FREE Internship, which has been underwritten by The New York City Environmental Fund, students will experience the adventure of participating in field research. They will learn how scientists use hula-hoops to study biodiversity and how to identify some of the common birds that populate this area. Each student will receive FREE materials; a field notebook and a variety of field guides. Throughout the course of this internship, students will gain confidence in scientific inquiry and learn the basics of species identification as we explore and understand the over 635 acres of Alley Pond Park.

The APEC Field Biology Internship offers seven classes in the Fall, Spring, and Summer to high school sophomores and juniors (10th and 11th grade). Fall and Spring classes are Saturday morning, between 9am and 12pm, Summer classes are Thursday between 9:30 am and 12:30 pm. Seniors who are interested in the Senior Independent Internship can contact use for information on setting-up a program that interests them.

Join us as we explore and examine the water and soil on our many trails using sampling equipment and scientific inquiry.

Our Classroom:  Most of our sessions will begin at the Padavan Pavilion, the Outdoor Classroom at APEC. After a discussion on the topic and materials for that week, we venture out into our park to further explore the day’s subject in a more hands-on manner.

Our Syllabus: The Internship Syllabus is full of many interesting topics that scientists encounter in their studies of the environment. From air and water quality to ecosystem biodiversity, students will experience new challenges each class. Every year new topics are added and expanded. Past classes have been Estuary Fauna, Pond Scum, GPS and Orienteering, Water, Soil and Air Testing and Biodiversity. For a copy of our syllabus, please call 718-229-4000 or email info@alleypond.com.

Our Requirements and Application:

Students must be high school sophomores and juniors (10th and 11th grade). Having taken Living Environment before attending this internship is a bonus, but not required. If you are a senior and are interested in the Senior Independent Internship, please contact us and we will try and set-up a program that meets your needs.
