Community Engagement & Storytelling Intern

Community Engagement & Storytelling Intern – Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation  

The Florida Wildlife Corridor is a statewide network of connected lands and waters that supports wildlife and people. Nearly half of the 18-million-acre corridor is still in need of permanent protection. Using a science-based approach, on-the-ground knowledge of the Corridor, and the support of tens-of-thousands of followers throughout the state and nation, the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation works to identify and elevate the most pressing threats and opportunities facing the Corridor. We cultivate awareness and action through film, photography, painting, drawing, mapping, storytelling, and expeditions. 

The Foundation hosts Corridor Connect, a bi-annual conference that convenes the diverse voices needed to advance the shared mission of a connected, protected, and restored Florida Wildlife Corridor. Our most recent Summit gathered over 700 participants from more than 80 organizations for three days of solution-building. Between Summits, critical work continues—from organizing data to keeping the community connected and engaged through ongoing collaboration and storytelling. 

The Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation is seeking an intern to support Corridor Connect+, a virtual webinar series, and assist with preparations for the 2027 Corridor Summit. This internship blends writing, research, and storytelling—perfect for someone passionate about conservation and communications. The intern will interview key partners to produce two blog posts per month (500–1,000 words each) that spotlight how organizations align with the Florida Wildlife Corridor vision. Additional responsibilities include content support for the Corridor Connect platform and the opportunity to contribute to a Florida Uncut episode as part of the internship project. This is a hands-on role within a collaborative, mission-driven team working to connect, protect, and restore wild Florida. 

The intern will be expected to work 20 hours a week. Milage will be reimbursed at the government rate.
