National Women's Law Center Summer Internships (PAID)
NWLC’s internship program provides students the opportunity to work on meaningful projects and to gain valuable hands-on experience. Additional benefits of participating in the NWLC internship program include:
- Substantive project work for students interested in women’s rights and gender justice;
- Networking opportunities for students both internally and externally through brown bag meetings and other forums;
- Creating a pipeline for fellowship and other employment opportunities
NWLC offers a year-round academic credit internship program and a paid summer internship program.
Summer Paid Internship Program:
NWLC offers a limited number of paid summer internship positions with a commitment to pay $5,625 for the duration of the internship program. This is a 10-week program full-time program that typically runs between June and August. NWLC welcomes the opportunity to partner with interns who are receiving partial or full funding from a third party. If funding from the third party is less than what NWLC has committed to paying summer interns, NWLC will make up the difference in salary.
As part of its summer paid internship program, NWLC is honored to host a Iris Feldman Mitgang Intern, supporting the NWLC’s Judges and Court efforts. For more information about this Internship, including how to donate to support it, please click here.
