Internship Spotlight: The National Audubon Society

Remember the Deepwater Horizon oil spill 
– the one that left thousands of birds and wildlife without a home? Have you ever wondered what happened to the oil-soaked birds that were impacted by that tragedy? Or maybe what happens next to ensure that those responsible for this national disaster are held accountable to pay for the clean-up of their mess and adequate ecosystem restoration?

Meet the National Audubon Society

As one of the nation’s most prestigious environmental advocacy and conservation organizations, the National Audubon Society was one of the first groups on the scene to help guide and coordinate emergency response efforts for the birds and wildlife impacted by the oil spill – and are now working to pass legislation that will dedicate resources to the Gulf to pay for cleanup and restoration of the damaged coastal environment. This spring, their Washington, DC office is looking for a Public Policy Intern.

Interns in Audubon’s DC office will have the opportunity to work side-by-side with Audubon’s policy advocates and lobbyists. A typical day could include: researching and preparing fact-sheets, “Hill drops,” assisting with outreach, representing Audubon in meetings with other environmental groups, monitoring Congressional hearings and preparing briefing materials.

Internship Perks…

The opportunity to participate on Audubon’s “green team” softball team – the Scrubjays – and all of the free bird-friendly coffee that your heart desires!
