There are still lots of open positions. Let's find the one that's right for you.
The Washington Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs (WLC) Prisoners' Rights Internship provides students with firsthand experience investigating conditions in jails and prisons throughout the country. The Prisoners' Rights Internship Program is typically designed for undergraduates; however, other students are welcome to apply if they are interested in a non-legal internship experience with the Committee. Applicants must be able to receive academic credit or outside compensation (equivalent to DC's minimum wage) to participate in internships at the Committee. You should include information about how you plan to receive credit or outside compensation in your application materials. This position is currently hiring for Fall 2025. Our anticipated start date for the Fall 2025 term is September 2, though this is subject to change. Prisoners' rights internships require a commitment of 20-40 hours/week and typically last 8-14 weeks. Internships are a combination of in-person and remote work. Fully remote internships are not currently available. Applications for this role are due on Monday, July 7 by 5pm EST. Preference will be given to those who apply sooner.
