The posting

Company Description

Founded in 1961, WWF works to help people and nature thrive. As a global conservation organization, WWF operates in more than 100 countries, partnering with communities, companies, and governments to protect wildlife, conserve vital habitats, and advance sustainable solutions. Grounded in science and driven by collaboration, WWF works to help nature by conserving biodiversity, supporting resilient communities, and addressing climate change. Nearly 1 million people in the United States and more than 5 million globally are WWF members.

Job Description

World Wildlife Fund (WWF), one of the world’s leading conservation organization, seeks an Undergraduate Policy and Government Affairs Spring 2027 Intern. The Policy and Government Affairs department of the World Wildlife Fund is seeking part-time to full-time interns for policy research, analysis, and outreach.

By contrast, research, analysis, and support may include assessment of government agencies' roles, policies, and positions on issues relating to WWF's mission, or writing of brief materials about U.S. government agencies.

Outreach may entail covering congressional hearings and markups, and preparing and attending congressional, administration, and/or NGO coalition briefings. Subject matter will cover many of the issues in which WWF is involved, including biodiversity conservation (e.g., endangered species and habitat protection), natural resource management (e.g., fisheries, forestry, and agriculture), environment and security, climate change, and energy.

Internship Description:

  • Research, writing & analysis on various topics which may include grasslands, wildlife conservation, food and water security, marine and fisheries issues, species/wildlife trafficking, and national security.
  • Legislative tracking and research.
  • Attend Congressional hearings and briefings, as well as NGO coalition meetings.
  • Outreach to Capitol Hill and the Administration on legislation and rulemaking.
