The FFAC National College Internship program engages college students around the US and Canada that are passionate about educating the public about the impacts of our food choices and creating change around food systems. Through remote mentorship, analytical discussion, and project work, interns gain valuable tools to become compassionate leaders.

AT OUR CORE, WE ARE AN INTERSECTIONAL ORGANIZATION, AND THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO EQUIP YOUNG PEOPLE WITH TOOLS FOR UNDERSTANDING COMPLEX RELATIONS BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES, AS WELL AS SUSTAINABLE ACTIVISM AND MENTAL HEALTH STRATEGIES.
