We are seeking candidates who are currently enrolled in a graduate-level academic program. Applicants who have already completed their graduate degree are not eligible . Proof of enrollment in a graduate program/college transcript will be requested at final offer stage.

Are you passionate about building a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable food system? King County's Local Food Initiative Graduate Intern position offers a unique opportunity to help implement the County's newly updated 2025 Local Food Initiative Strategy while working alongside leaders from across Washington's food system. In this role, you'll engage with farmers, food businesses, nonprofit organizations, public agencies, funders, and community partners to advance innovative projects that strengthen the local food economy and improve food access. A major responsibility of the position is developing the Initiative's monthly newsletter, giving you the opportunity to develop strong communications skills while helping tell the story of this important work. Ideal candidates are deeply interested in food systems, agriculture, and/or food access and are excited to gain hands-on experience in public policy, partnership development, communications, and collaborative project management that will have a lasting impact on communities throughout King County.

About the Role:
The Local Food Initiative Graduate Intern plays an integral role in supporting the implementation of King County's 2025 Local Food Initiative Strategy by advancing communications, stakeholder engagement, and collaborative projects that strengthen the local food system.

Together, we are implementing King County's 2025 Local Food Initiative Strategy, a long-term roadmap for building a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable local food system. Our work advances DNRP's mission by protecting and restoring farmland and natural resources, supporting climate-smart agriculture, reducing food waste, strengthening local food businesses, and expanding equitable access to healthy, locally grown food. As part of our small, collaborative team, you'll have the opportunity to work on projects that create meaningful environmental, economic, and community impact while gaining exposure to partners and initiatives across the region's food system.

The Water and Land Resources Division is at the forefront of King County’s efforts to protect and restore clean water and healthy habitat and strengthen the resilience of communities, environment, and infrastructure in the face climate change. We are a dedicated workforce of more than 400 supported by an annual budget of ~$250 million. WLRD has a strong track record of developing innovative strategies for protecting working farms and forests, restoring habitat, protecting water quality, and ensuring people have equitable access to green space. We reduce flood hazards, manage stormwater facilities, and reduce toxic threats.  Our Environmental Lab and Science section maintain high-quality data sets used in long term-water quality trend analysis and use Best Available Science to inform decision making.  We house three salmon recovery forums and support the Land Conservation Initiative, which will preserve our last, most important natural lands and urban green spaces over the next 30 years. Our forestry and agricultural programs help people protect their lands and support local food production.
