Eat Well Guide Internship/Externship

Telecommute From Any College Campus in the United States or Canada

The Eat Well Guide, launched by Sustainable Table in 2003, is a free online directory of farms, stores, restaurants, bed & breakfasts, and other outlets that offer local, fresh, and sustainable food in the US and Canada. We are seeking college interns/externs throughout the United States and Canada who are interested in food issues and would like to increase their research and marketing skills by helping expand the Eat Well Guide, a free online directory of sustainable food sources. While most experiences will revolve around updating and promoting the Guide, this is an incredible opportunity for interns with a passion for food and health to learn more about the industry.

Eat Well Guide interns/externs will telecommute from their home or campus to help bring exposure to small farmers, retailers, and chefs who are committed to providing local, sustainable food products. In the process, interns will gain an exceptional view into the rapidly increasing sustainable food movement; and through their research, they will interact with some fascinating people across the United States and Canada. Interested students should be organized, detail oriented, conversant in writing and on the telephone, and enjoy working independently as well as with other likeminded people.

Upcoming projects for the Eat Well Guide team include the development of an online travel tool, Eat Well Everywhere, which will enable users to find good food on the road through an interactive map on the website. We are also looking to spread the word about the Eat Well Guide through the use of innovative new media outlets. Our latest endeavor, the Green Fork blog, is Eat Well’s voice in the sustainable food world. Finally, forming key partnerships with local and regional organizations is a part of the Eat Well ideal.

Interested students should be organized, detail oriented, conversant in writing and on the telephone, and enjoy working independently as well as with other like-minded people. 

Other qualifications: College/graduate students who can commit to a minimum of 10 hours/week either during the semester or summer.  Opportunities are also available for shorter intern programs during school breaks. Hours are flexible, but regularity is important. We offer a small stipend for local travel and lunch on days in which you work 4 hours or more.

How to Apply:  Please email a cover letter, writing sample, and resume to erin@eatwellguide.org or fax to (212) 726-9160. In either case, please note "Eat Well Guide Internship/Externship".
