GLOBE Summer Internships with 

The Nature Conservancy - apply by 1/6/16


SCA is partnering with The Nature Conservancy’s Growing Leaders On Behalf of the Environment (GLOBE) Program to offer students summer internships working for one of the field’s top organizations. If you are interested in starting a career in conservation while gaining hands-on experience with a non-profit environmental leader then GLOBE might be the program for you.

Each year, The Nature Conservancy hires under-graduate students, graduate students and recent graduates to fill over 30 paid positions during a 10-week summer internship. These positions are available throughout the country and provide a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between academics and the real-world conservation work that contribute to the health and sustainability of our world.

GLOBE offers both field and office-based positions in areas including: marketing, law, policy, environmental studies, philanthropy, and government relations.  The purpose of the GLOBE program is to contribute to the diversity, size and effectiveness of the global conservation workforce as a whole and within The Nature Conservancy.  SCA’s mission is helping place the right candidates in these GLOBE program positions.
