Intern with JGIS
At the core of JGIS is the belief that knowledge and compassion lead to action and that everyone can make a difference. We focus on empowering and inspiring individuals to safeguard people, animals and the environment. Interns are important members of the JGIS team. We empower them with the skills needed to further the same cause as Dr. Jane Goodall amongst their generation. They write special features on a topic they’re passionate about, plan JGIS’ events, direct videos and contribute so much more! And they pass it on – by empowering more young people to be the next ‘Jane Goodall’. As Dr. Jane would say, “Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.” We welcome you to join the movement we’re creating!
