We regularly offer internships throughout the Forum, for a minimum of 6 weeks, giving people the opportunity to acquire experience working in the sustainable development field. These internships are valuable in helping us to achieve our mission, by expanding our resources.

Specific internships are advertised on our Jobs page, but we welcome applications from people interested in internships at all times. Please send your CV and a covering letter to recruitment@forumforthefuture.org

What kind of work do interns do?
Tom Roberts joined us as an intern with a degree in Environmental Management and English. His knowledge of the sustainable development agenda stood him in good stead, but in-depth prior knowledge is not a requirement.
Tom worked as part of the Local and Regional team for three months, and he also spent a week at our magazine Green Futures. He was involved in a range of tasks over his internship, including:

• Writing material for the Regional Futures news digest
• Conducting interviews and collating research
• Reviewing regional economic strategies
• Updating and amending web pages
• Helping with research and proof reading articles.

Tom found the experience very fruitful. "I'm certain now about my career choice, and I've a better understanding of sustainable development. I've also made a lot of new friends."

Forum for the Future subscribes to the standards for ethical internships developed by the Interns Network.
