Internship Program Suspended until 2021
Sadly, TRR has lost over 50% of its operating income. This has forced us to suspend our Internship Program to cut costs. These cuts are to ensure we survive into the new year. As a part of your internship, you are provided housing and food. At this time, we cannot afford these added costs until ecotourism returns to the Toucan Rescue Ranch. Consequently, we are suspending our Internship Program until 2021.
