About Environmental Defense:
Environmental Defense was founded in 1967 by a group of scientists concerned about the effects of DDT on the environment. These scientists were responsible for Environmental Defense’s (formerly Environmental Defense Fund) successful demonstration of the way pesticides move through the food chain to threaten humans and wildlife, and the subsequent legal and advocacy work that resulted in the banning of DDT in the United States. This is considered to be one of the greatest achievements of the modern environmental movement. From the beginning, Environmental Defense has used an innovative mix of scientists, economists, and attorneys to devise practical, economically sustainable solutions to environmental problems. Today, Environmental Defense has more Ph.D. scientists and economists on staff than any other national environmental organization and has offices in New York, Washington, D.C., North Carolina, Texas, Colorado, Florida, Atlanta, and California. Environmental Defense's major programs are Transportation, Air Quality, the Global Atmosphere, Water Resources, Toxic Chemicals, Solid Waste, and Wildlife Habitats.
As the scope of our work has grown, Environmental Defense interns have become a vital part of our organization. In past years, interns from a variety of disciplines have worked on projects addressing such areas as global climate change, recycling, special fundraising campaigns, and public outreach and education.
Internships at Environmental Defense are competitive and offer a unique educational experience. Student interns work directly with experts in science, law, and economics, in addition to other environmental professionals, and play an active role in helping build strong environmental policy.
Qualifications:
Selected students are usually graduate students with excellent grades and strong references. Strong research and writing skills and a demonstrated interest in environmental issues are required. Environmental coursework is preferred. Students must demonstrate initiative and be self-directed, independent workers. Courses of study can include law, ecology, biology, chemistry, economics, public policy, engineering and business.
In addition to the requirements above, legal interns are usually first and second year law students with excellent grades, good research and writing skills. We would also prefer law students with a science background.
Compensation:
Environmental Defense provides modest compensation for internships, with rates of pay determined by a student's education level, and budget allocations. Many schools also have work-study programs, grants, fellowships that contribute to the intern's salary.

On the team, each intern has an expert supervisor who sets performance expectations for each assignment, provides guidance, and conducts a formal feedback session at the internship's conclusion. For more informal support and information, a new staff member (known as "buddy") is also assigned to each intern. All interns participate in an orientation session, which is followed by 1-1/2 days of initial training in Washington, D.C. This training provides an overview of GAO procedures and work standards, including presentations on the elements of a research finding, workpaper preparation, interview techniques, documentation standards, etc. Our Office of Congressional Relations also provides presentations on congressional operations and GAO's relationship to Congress. Special events - both social and professional - occur throughout the internship program to ensure that interns have the opportunity to meet each other, mix with a range of GAO analysts and executives, and expand their knowledge and skills.
