"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.”

"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.”

"While interning at the Wildlife Justice Commission, I had the opportunity to discover the non-profit sector, and more specifically the fundraising field, through the prism of organised crime and the protection of endangered species – in conjunction with my passion for animals and my studies in law. Not only am I thankful to have taken part in such a meaningful mission of fighting against wildlife trafficking, I also met an amazing team that works effectively and achieves incredible and efficient results.”
