Nemours Estate shares a campus and a history with the Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware. We work with patients, patient families, hospital staff, and with the public. Wellbeing programs offer experiences with nature, the arts, mindfulness practices, and more. The Wellbeing Programs Intern will work on-site at Nemours Estate to assist with wellbeing programming and two wellbeing research projects. This position is well-suited for those interested in community health, social science research, and public programming. It is ideal for a student who is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree.
Under the direction of the Manager of Gardens and Grounds, the intern will participate in a variety of garden tasks at the 220-acre historic Nemours Estate. Tasks include but are not limited to: helping with wellbeing programming once a week, helping gardeners with various garden-based tasks, and assisting with other tasks as needed.
The Estate Garden internship is well-suited for individuals who wish to gain valuable experience with public garden maintenance and operation.

Nemours Children's Health is committed to improving the health of children. As a non-profit children’s health organization, we consider the health of every child to be a sacred trust.
Through family-centered care in our children’s hospitals and clinics in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida, as well as world-changing research, education and advocacy, Nemours fulfills the promise of a healthier tomorrow for all children — even those who may never enter our doors.
Nemours began more than 80 years ago with the vision of Alfred I. duPont to improve the lives of children and to do whatever it takes to prevent and treat even the most disabling childhood conditions.
Today, through our children’s hospitals and health system, we directly care for 250,000 children annually in Delaware Valley and Florida, including families who travel from across the country and world to see our specialists — treating every child as we would our own.
We also reach beyond the walls of our hospitals and clinics to be a voice for children on a national and international level, and to lead the way in prevention, intervention, education, and research.
Nemours is growing to better serve the children and families in our care. We have 1.1 million square feet of space currently devoted to providing children’s healthcare or under construction, all designed with significant input and advice from our patients and families.
