The World Food Prize Foundation announced today the selection of 9 students for the 2024-25 internship program. Since the creation of its collegiate internship program in 2001, the Foundation has welcomed over 400 students from around the country. 

Internship programs provide undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to explore global issues of food insecurity, sustainability, and international development. Providing students the ability to take on significant responsibility and initiative within a wide variety of Foundation projects. Interns will focus on awards management, youth programming, archival research, and much more.

“During this internship, I aim to strengthen my global communication and event management skills by creating spaces that unite diverse voices to address real-world issues like food insecurity,” said Amy Taylor, 2024-25 Intern. “I also look forward to building lasting relationships with fellow change makers from around the world and collaborating with those who have already made significant strides toward the positive change we all aspire to achieve.”

9 students from Drake University, Claremont Graduate University, Iowa State University, and Grand View University, and Des Moines Area Community College will explore the complexity of operating a global non-profit organization. Each student will be paired with a mentor as they seek to fulfill The World Food Prize Foundation’s mission of inspiring action to increase the quality, quantity, and availability of food for all.
