What impressed me most at Wildlife Justice wasn't just how approachable everyone was, it was that each person had their own reason for fighting wildlife trafficking, and you could sense it in their work. I never felt like 'just an intern'; my input was genuinely sought and valued, and every win, big or small, was celebrated together. That's the kind of workplace that turns an internship into something you carry with you long after it ends. 

Kimberly Volbeda

Communications Intern, July 2026 - Present.

“Before joining Wildlife Justice, I worked in a UN peacekeeping mission and at an international tribunal. Both institutions have deeply important mandates, and I remain proud of that work. What has struck me since joining Wildlife Justice is the tangible and immediate impact we can have. By helping law enforcement disrupt the criminal networks driving wildlife trafficking, we directly contribute to protecting species and safeguarding the natural world. 

I am proud to work for an organisation where I can see that our efforts are making a difference, not only for wildlife today, but for the planet my children and future generations will inherit.” 

Marianne El Hajj-Rossi

Public Communications Specialist, January 2022 – Present.

"Interning at the Wildlife Justice Commission was my first professional experience, both in the legal field and within the NGO sector. It allowed me to discover how law operates in this universe. I was trusted with real responsibilities, from contributing to ongoing work to drafting legal documents. The hands-on environment and strong team integration gave me insight into the role of a legal officer. I felt valued, independent, and part of a mission that matters.”

LLM Public International Law. Wildlife Justice Commission Legal Intern, September 2024 - March 2025.

"It was an incredibly rewarding experience — not only did I work alongside a fantastic and highly supportive team, I also gained hands-on experience in one of WJC‘s research projects and observed the role of the WJC at the multilateral level. This internship significantly improved my communication and drafting skills, and confirmed my interest in the NGO environment. I would highly recommend this internship to anyone.”
