You’re strengthening the next generation of planet-protecting attorneys FROM THE FIELD
Because of you, Food & Water Justice welcomes up to three legal interns each summer and one each semester. Former intern, John Mitchell, valued his experience, saying, "Environmental justice and clean energy are passions of mine. This internship taught me that I could turn my passions into a career. The legal team took the time to get to know me

Thank you for providing what our movement needs — growing the next generation of talented legal minds who will fight for a livable future!
