Storytelling Intern

Position Overview
The Storytelling Intern will support our work in elevating the human side of farming and food
systems. This position will work closely with Communications staff.

About our Storytelling Campaign
Our farmers have unique stories to tell, and their experiences shape the food we eat and the soil
under our feet. And yet, the human side of farming is often left out of the narrative. We aim to
elevate the people–their past, present, and future–to foster a more human connection to our food
system.
