Charles Jordan Summer 2021 Intern, The Conservation Fund

The Charles Jordan Memorial Internship was established by The Conservation Fund to keep alive the passion, commitment, and wisdom that Charles Jordan brought to his 20 years of leadership on the Fund’s national Board of Directors. This paid internship is available for ten weeks during the summer of 2021; the specific dates for the position are flexible.

Charles was the first African American to chair a national environmental organization, serving as chairman of The Conservation Fund’s Board of Directors from 2003 to 2008.  He believed passionately in diversifying the conservation movement.

For the summer of 2021, the Charles Jordan Memorial Internship project is “The Selma to Montgomery March: Conservation & Collaboration.”

The intern will work to develop a conservation strategy for significant campsites to preserve their history, while also integrating services from The Fund to create a digital social media narrative across various platforms to elevate this story among local, state, and federal partners to assess the economic potential to support these families, generate business opportunities, and build a network of resources.
