Become Our Intern

Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia (TCS) is a small, young but dynamic organisation, with activities ranging from multi-disciplinary research projects to working with the local womenfolk to produce marketable batik-themed products. Our work-type and work-load vary throughout the year, from camping out at the riverbank and micro-chipping terrapins, to measuring newly-emerged terrapin hatchlings, to conducting Turtle Camps with students to co-hosting a CSR programme with corporate companies to managing our social media sites to writing grant proposals and press releases.

Our internship programme is one of the exclusive perks available to our lifetime members. If you are selected for the internship, we do require all candidates to sign up as a lifetime member, which provides access to a variety of benefits, including the internship opportunity itself, networking events, and professional development resources.

We welcome Malaysian students at no cost to encourage local involvement and build conservation awareness within our own communities. For international volunteers, a small contribution helps us provide housing, training, and ensure the programme remains sustainable—allowing us to continue protecting endangered turtles together.

We accept interns who are able to stay for a minimum of four weeks, which we believe, benefits both the intern and TCS.
