Term Assignment (TA)
Temporary employees are those who are hired as interim replacements, or to temporarily
supplement the work force, or to assist in the completion of a specific project. Employment
beyond any initially stated period does not in any way imply a change in employment status.
Temporary employees retain that status unless and until notified of a change. These employees
are eligible for our Employee Benefits program, less severance payments, subject to the terms,
conditions, and limitations of each benefit plan.
Fellows
Through the Fellowship program, the National Wildlife Federation brings students and recent
graduates to its offices nationwide, where they can experience many aspects of the National
Wildlife Federation's conservation mission, including work on endangered species, land
stewardship, and protecting our nation's water. Departments benefiting from the skills
Fellowships provide include conservation, education, philanthropy, communications, legal, and
publications. These paid Fellowship opportunities are 48 weeks in duration and full-time, at 40
hours per week.
Working side-by-side with knowledgeable professionals and receiving support from the
fellowship coordinator, fellows develop a variety of professional and personal life skills.
Fellowship projects support commonsense conservation in communities and throughout the
nation. By encouraging innovative ideas and multicultural perspectives, the National Wildlife
Federation provides a gateway through which fellows can launch an effective career in
Giving Back
NWF recognizes that employees, regardless of degree of impact, may want to give back to
their community or co-workers in times of crisis. Following a natural disaster or major current
event, all employees will have access to the following:
• Eight additional hours of volunteer paid leave
• NWF will match employee donations to charities (up to $100 per employee per year) in
times of natural disasters or social unrest that support community assistance. Please
contact HRHelp@nwf.org to request a Donation Matching form.
Conclusion

NWF’s primary goal is to make sure all staff are fully supported while living in a shifting
landscape with unsettling challenges. We are committed to finding additional ways to ensure
all staff feel physically and psychologically safe, and find relief from the chaos that's that
surrounds us in so many ways.

If employees have questions, or suggestions of ways that NWF can continue to offer much
needed support, please never hesitate to reach out to HR.
We value each and every one of our employees and their individual needs. You are an integral
part of the NWF community.
