Overview: 

The Government & Community Affairs Internship offers students a unique opportunity to learn about the intersection of public policy, community affairs, and conservation within a leading global nonprofit organization.

Under the mentorship of the Associate Manager, Government & Community Affairs, interns will have a front-row seat to a variety of activities involving community programming, stakeholder engagement, event coordination, communications, and database management. Through hands-on learning, observation, and close mentorship, interns will build professional skills while gaining a deeper understanding of how government and community partnerships advance WCS's mission and strengthen its impact across New York City and beyond. This internship is designed as an immersive learning experience for students interested in exploring careers at the intersection of policy, advocacy, and conservation.

  • Interns will strengthen professional communication, project management, organizational, and administrative skills through guided exposure to event coordination, meeting support, stakeholder communications, and database management.
  • Interns will gain hands-on learning experience with tools such as Salesforce and Microsoft Office Suite, while being introduced to best practices in data management, stakeholder engagement, and community programming.
  • Interns will build foundational research and analytical skills through mentored involvement in information gathering and departmental projects, while cultivating workplace professionalism, collaboration skills, and a broader awareness of career pathways in government affairs, community relations, public policy, and nonprofit conservation.
