The Delaware Valley Ornithological Club (DVOC) manages the DVOC Interns Fund to support ornithology interns at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. The internship program provides high school and college-aged students a stipend for working at the academy and strengthening ties between the academy and DVOC. It was launched with a $10,000 gift and the DVOC hopes to increase the fund through public donations to support more ornithology interns.

• Eligible interns include high school and college aged
individuals who will be given a stipend for their work at the
academy and for their participation in efforts to strengthen
ties between it and the DVOC.
A lifetime member of the DVOC supplied an initial $10,000
gift to launch the program; the DVOC plans to increase the
fund amount in the future. The organization encourages
members of the public to help build the Interns Fund through
tax-deductible donations in order to help it support a higher
number of interns.
