The mission of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is to conserve the lands and waters upon which all life depends. As a science-based organization, we develop innovative, on-the-ground solutions to the world's toughest environmental challenges so that people and nature can thrive. Our work is guided by our values, which include a commitment to diversity and respect for people, communities, and cultures. From a rewarding mission to career development and flexible schedules, there are many reasons to love life #insideTNC. Want to know more? Check out our TNC Talent playlist on YouTube to hear stories from staff, our Instagram, TikTok or visit Glassdoor.

One of TNC's primary goals is to cultivate an inclusive work environment so that employees around the globe have a sense of belonging and feel that their unique contributions are valued. We know we'll only achieve our mission by hiring and engaging a diverse staff that reflects the communities in which we work. Recognizing that people bring talent and skills that have been developed outside the scope of a job, we take a holistic approach to recruitment that considers life experience in addition to the professional requirements listed in our postings. Please apply - we'd love to hear from you. To quote a popular saying at TNC, "you'll join for the mission, and you'll stay for the people."

You will work with the video team on production support, including footage and music research for video projects, story research, and fact-checking. Reporting to the Producer/Editor, your primary role will be helping with the management of our video library, identifying best footage and creating curated packages of b-roll. By the end of the internship, you will have created packages based on defined conservation topics.

Depending on your skills and our project roster, you may have the opportunity to film and edit footage.

If you're organized, motivated, and exceptional at managing project deadlines, we'd love you to join us this summer and learn about video production and conservation from a small, creative team that produces short documentaries, ads, and social media videos.

As the Video Intern, you will:

• Identify the best shots from our library for specific video projects
• Create packages of b-roll based on organizational priorities
• Find appropriate music for video projects
• Research stories for script development and shoot pre-production
• Fact check and proofread edited videos

Are you passionate about visual storytelling? Do you love good videography and understand how different shots are used in video production? Can you spot a powerful shot, moment, or piece of audio? If you love discovering the images and sounds that can tell a compelling story, we have a great opportunity in the Marketing and Communications Division (MAC).

Join our video production team for a paid 10-week summer internship: by assisting our in-house production team, you'll gain hands-on experience and real-world production skills.

The intern can be an undergraduate student, graduate student, or recent graduate (between 2023 and 2024). This position is home-based in the United States and will provide a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between academics and real-world work. We offer an orientation, professional networking opportunities, and real-world work experience.
