Food for Black Thought Fall Internships

Food for Black Thought (FFBT) is an action research initiative based in Austin, Texas. Initially launched as a groundbreaking local symposium in 2012, today we create educational resources that promote more socially-just food systems and food projects. You can also find us collaborating with grassroots organizations and consulting on policy issues. Black experiences with food are our lens. Black food experiences in the United States and beyond provide insights about how food systems work (or do not), underscore the power of community-based food practices, and demonstrate resilience. In the midst of rapid urban and rural change, widening wealth gaps, and more, we believe these insights are critical for Black and non-Black communities alike.

We’re currently seeking interns for fall 2016. Interns gain experience with a social enterprise that’s committed to socially-conscious building, self-care, and transformative food work. Learn what it’s like to grow a passion project into an organization. Food for Black Thought is a proudly Black and Latina owned-and-operated initiative. Contribute your skills and grow with us!
