Community Food Map Intern

Internship Opportunity: Help Map a Fairer Food System

Role: Digital Resource & Local Food Mapping Intern

Duration: 3-4 Weeks | Closing Date: 1 June 2026

The Ask

Are you passionate about food justice and sustainability? Join Good Food Oxfordshire to help transform how our community finds and accesses food. You will play a vital role in updating and expanding our Community Food Map—a resource used by thousands to find everything from food banks and allotments to farmers' markets and cooking classes.

What You’ll Do

As part of the European-wide FEAST research project, you will:

• Update & Expand: Research and refresh map listings to ensure the data is trusted and accurate.
• Innovate: Help test a new 'self-reporting' idea that allows community members to suggest their own map additions.
• Integrate: Work to bring local food suppliers onto the map to support the local economy.
• Collaborate: Work directly with our Project and Comms Leads in a supportive, dynamic team.

Who You Are

• A Food Advocate:You care about food access and helping the Oxfordshire community.
• Detail-Oriented:You have strong copywriting skills and enjoy data detective work.
• Tech-Curious:You are comfortable researching online and (ideally) have some interest in web platforms like WordPress.

Why Join Us?

This is a chance to gain hands-on experience in database/metadata management and communications while contributing to a high-profile international research project. You’ll help ensure that no one in Oxfordshire struggles to find the food resources they need.

We are always looking for volunteers and interns to work on various projects. If you’re interested in volunteering with GFO and gaining experience in a small but busy organisation working at the forefront of sustainable food then please get in touch.
