Ducks Unlimited's Government Affairs Office is seeking two conservation policy interns to begin work before Jan. 1, 2010. Intern candidates should be extremely motivated workers, possess excellent verbal and written communication skills, demonstrate above-average computer skills and be able to work independently with minimal supervision. Knowledge of wildlife conservation, wetlands, congressional process and/or agriculture policy and practices is a plus. Work emphasis will be on communications and legislative process.

Our interns are responsible for assisting professional staff in promoting public policy initiatives affecting wetlands, waterfowl and agricultural conservation. Our interns gain valuable Capitol Hill and nonprofit experience through supporting efforts to educate members of Congress on the positive effects of conservation legislation and concepts.

Please send a cover letter and résumé to Whitney Tawney at wtawney@ducks.org.
