Lyon Arboretum Summer Internships

The 2025 Summer Internship Program at Lyon Arboretum is co-sponsored by the Friends of Lyon Arboretum (FLA) and Lyon Arboretum.

The Education Department, Horticulture Department, and Micropropagation Lab, under our Hawaiian Rare Plant Program, will host one intern each. The Grounds Department will host two interns: a Grounds and Collections Intern and an Arborist internship position.

Applicants can select their first, second, and third choice for their home department. If selected, interns will also experience the other departments during the cohort rotations.

Applicants must submit a resume and transcript (unofficial transcript is acceptable), after which placement will be determined.

nterns are required to participate in group activities as scheduled and will assist in various tasks detailed by their respective departments and gain valuable in-depth experience there. During group rotations, they will also develop an appreciation for the other units at Lyon and receive insight into what their colleagues are doing during the internship timeframe. Other activities include field trips to other gardens, a service project offsite, and participation in an outreach event.

Interns will also be required to do a presentation about their time at the Arboretum as well as report about their department project results.
