The program is primarily experiential rather than academic and provides in nine months the kind of exposure and experience that few individuals receive in a lifetime. Fellows engage in field assignments, seminars, group and independent public service projects, and interact with leaders who influence life in the public, private and non-profit sectors. Only 48 Fellows are selected nationally each year. Since Food First was founded in 1975, volunteers and interns have played important roles in all aspects of the Institute's work. Interns work with staff on specific projects for anywhere from 10 to 40 hours per week for a minimum of three months.
Interns work in our research and analysis, outreach and education , and publications departments.
All internships are unpaid. Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
