Sealaska’s 2025 Summer Interns during Connect Week


Summer Internships for Students

Sealaska interns work with our internal departments and partners to gain valuable work experience, offer fresh perspectives, and explore future career opportunities. As an intern, you will be able to apply your education through practical experience in the field and corporate environment. Our internship positions range across various industries and focuses including Land Stewardship and Environmental, Engineering and Technology, Culture and Community, and Business.

At Sealaska, you’ll have opportunities to explore your career interests, grow your professional skills, and connect with the unique and vibrant cultures of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian people. You will spend the summer with peers who share an Alaska Native heritage, learning from each other and building a community as you venture into your careers.

We kick off our internship program with a week-long orientation and opening convening we call Connect Week. This is an opportunity to have all interns join together in-person before embarking on their internships and connect with each other and their ancestral lands. During Connect Week, we invite elders, staff, community members and partners to lead cultural workshops and professional development sessions. The week is packed with exciting activities, outings, and lots of good food. All travel is fully covered to and from Connect Week, and lodging is available too.

Land Stewardship and Environmental Internships

Join our land stewardship and environmental technician teams in the field this summer. Apply your love of the outdoors to help Sealaska manage its land resources or perform environmental remediation tasks across job sites.
