Internships at Stone Barns are unpaid positions and housing is not provided, but academic credit may be awarded from an intern’s school. Stone Barns’ site supervisors schedule weekly meetings with each intern to review the progress of the internship. As part of the internship program, there will be opportunities to interact with other staff and interns in other programs. If requested, site supervisors will provide each intern with a written evaluation that can also be used as a reference at the conclusion of the internship. The minimum age to participate in an internship is sixteen.

Interns benefit from a schedule that is both intensive and consistent. To encourage productive and rewarding internships, Stone Barns requires a minimum commitment of 20 hours per week for a period of one to five months. Interns will complete a daily record of their hours in a logbook kept in the office and will be expected to contact the site supervisor with any schedule changes.
