Each year, our internship program provides emerging conservation professionals with meaningful, hands-on experience in education, outreach, research, and environmental stewardship.
By working alongside staff and engaging directly with the public, interns gain valuable insight into the many ways conservation programs make a positive impact across Ontario.
Katelyn Cormier, the successful candidate for the OFAH/BrokerLink Conservation Internship, joined our team in April. Since then, she has brought enthusiasm, curiosity, and a strong commitment to conservation to every project. From engaging with the public at outreach events to supporting the release of Atlantic salmon fry alongside Bring Back the Salmon staff, she has already made a meaningful contribution while gaining valuable field experience.
“Working with OFAH has been an incredible experience,” Cormier said. “I’ve had the opportunity to connect with the public through education and outreach projects while learning more about Ontario’s fish communities and invasive species, and I’m excited to support research and monitoring efforts this summer before exploring policy issues in greater depth this fall.”
We are thrilled to have Cormier on our team and look forward to the continued impact of her work.
