The Alabama Extension Summer Internship at Auburn University program is building tomorrow’s workforce one internship at a time! Through this program, students majoring in the areas of human sciences, agriculture, and forestry, wildlife, and natural resources get a real-world view of their respective industries, all while helping improve the lives of Alabama residents.

About the Program

Each intern gets a personalized experience as they work throughout the summer with an Alabama Extension professional who shares their major and professional interests. These mentors help introduce students to the world of Extension and give them the opportunity to use their degrees while giving back to communities through participation in educational events and programs.

“I learned so much in my internship with Extension. I was able to take the research from Auburn University out to the general public, and now, I get to serve west-central Alabama as an animal science and forages agent.” — Court Green-Johnson, 2024 Alabama Extension Intern

“As an agriculture science graduate from Auburn University, agriculture is my passion. I enjoyed being able to visit several counties during my Extension internship and see what a career with Extension would really be like. It was great to be able to take the knowledge I’ve gained through Extension and college and see how people apply it in their lives.” — Will West, 2024 Alabama Extension Intern
