The National Center on Sexual Exploitation’s (NCOSE) is currently accepting applications for their Law Enforcement Internship for both the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 terms. Interns participate in the ongoing work of defending human dignity, exposing and combatting the full spectrum of sexual exploitation (i.e., pornography, prostitution, stripping, sexual trafficking, child sexual abuse, sexual assault and rape). NCOSE internships offer a unique opportunity to address sexual exploitation issues while gaining new skills through hands-on opportunities that seek to prevent exploitation before it begins, which foster a national culture that stands for freedom from sexual exploitation.

The program also offers interns an opportunity to investigate their individual gifts and develop new skills while working at NCOSE’s headquarters.
