How to Become a Food First Intern Thank you for your interest in internship opportunities at Food First. 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.
Some interns wish to receive college credit for their work.
We will do whatever possible to insure that your internship meets those requirements. While all interns and volunteers should have a regular work schedule, time commitments are flexible depending on your work or school schedule and the nature of the project. Finally, all internships are unpaid. Current projects are listed below. When indicating your areas of interest for internships, please be specific and refer to a particular internship, not just a broad area.
