Parliamentary Internship for the Environment Program – Deadline to Apply is April 28, 2024

by | Apr 26, 2024 | eZine

The Parliamentary Internship for the Environment Program places young environmental leaders on Parliament Hill for paid, full-time, 10-month internships with Members of Parliament from all national parties.  Interns gain a deep understanding of the day-to-day workings of Canadian Parliament, a behind-the-scenes look at the policymaking process, and learn from some of Canada’s top environmental changemakers. The program is offering the Specialized Stream in Sustainable Agriculture for a young leader from the prairie provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba) with an interest and background in agriculture.  This stream will continue to advance environmental leadership in agriculture and elevate rural voices in Canada’s environmental space. No political experience or specific level of education is required. This program stream runs from approximately September 2024 to June 2025.  For more information, please visit https://www.environmentalleadership.ca/pie and to apply, visit https://airtable.com/appzOnImCnK2CiCSV/shrOGZ9tpZK02t4xg.
