Parliamentary Internship for the Environment - Sustainable Agriculture Stream
Overview
Since 2018, the GreenPAC Parliamentary Internship for the Environment program has placed exceptional young environmental leaders (18-30) on Parliament Hill in Ottawa for paid, ten-month internships with Members of Parliament from across the political spectrum. Interns gain invaluable experience and a behind-the-scenes look at how government works while supporting elected decision-makers who are driving change for the environment. After the program, interns have gone on to play exciting roles in the public, private and nonprofit sectors, and in some cases, even run for office themselves.
This year, we are excited to be offering a special spot in our program for young leaders in sustainable agriculture! This program stream is intended to simultaneously advance environmental leadership in Canadian agriculture and elevate rural voices in the environmental space.
Qualifications
Candidates must be:
- Between 18-30 years old (inclusive) as of September 1, 2021
- From prairie provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba)
- Legally eligible to work full-time in Canada
- Have firsthand farming experience (of any kind)
- Be passionate about the environment and environmental sustainability of agriculture
No political experience or university degree is required. This program stream runs from approximately October 2021 to July 2022 and comes with a stipend of $25,000 CAD.
