Defenders Internship
The Environmental Defenders are currently not accepting internship applications. Please check back in Winter 2026.
Our summer interns work with a Defenders’ Action Team that connects nicely with their interests. Many interns enjoy work with our Water & Natural Resources Protection Action Team as it relates to the fields of ecological restoration, biology and more. For those interested in the green energy and transportation sector, our Transportation Action Team would be a nice fit, and both the Waste Reduction Action Team (food waste and plastic waste reduction) as well as our Recycling Action Team are great fits for just about anyone interested in environmental protection. Our Education Action Team is a great place for organizing outreach and programs for the public. For those interested in helping to build and diversify our membership base and programming our Membership Action Team would work well. For bilingual, Spanish speaking interns, our Latino Outreach Program is a great place to be as we build toward a more diverse audience of members and volunteers.
