Join Our Team

Summer interns will have a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge civil rights cases in a fast-paced environment. Interns will work closely with Civil Rights Corps staff to investigate and challenge systemic injustice in the criminal legal system. Interns will participate in a wide variety of tasks depending on the organization’s needs and the intern’s interests, including, for example, drafting briefs, conducting legal research, reviewing documents, drafting letters, preparing legal memoranda, and interviewing clients and witnesses. Our ideal candidate will have an unflagging commitment to our mission, a sense of urgency about the need to disrupt a criminal system that devastates lives every day, and strong research, writing, and communication skills.

The Communications Department is new and growing with this dynamic organization. The Communications and Outreach Manager will support various initiatives that promote Civil Rights Corps’ innovative work and the impact of our advocacy and litigation to local and national audiences. The ideal candidate will be passionate about reforming the American legal system, demonstrate sound news judgement, be community-minded, and an ambitious self-starter who is a strong writer with a proven ability to execute events, collaborate with others, and balance multiple deliverables. This position reports directly to the Director of Communications.
