WWF Overview
For 60 years, WWF has worked to help people and nature thrive. As one of the world’s leading conservation organizations, WWF works in more than 100 countries, connecting cutting-edge conservation science with the collective power of our partners in the field – with one million members in the United States and five million supporters globally, as well as partnerships with communities, companies, and governments.

BRIDGE is WWF’s summer internship program. Launched in 2021, it is a paid internship opportunity aimed at a pool of talented undergraduate and graduate students who could bring fresh thinking and innovation to the environmental sector. In particular, WWF aims to employ interns who have not previously had a breadth of professional experience and have not previously considered conservation as a career pathway.
Position Summary
WWF Impact is looking for a motivated graduate student to support our investment team in the food and agriculture investment space. WWF Impact provides catalytic capital to early-stage food and agriculture companies to accelerate and advance WWF’s conservation goals.

This will include conducting research on new agricultural market opportunities, putting together landscape analyses on subsectors in the agrifood sector, and mapping the leading innovations in specific geographies (i.e. Latin America and the Caribbean).
