Criminal Justice Reform Internship

Prison Justice League

Austin

Unpaid

The Prison Justice League (PJL) works to improve conditions in Texas prisons through litigation, advocacy, and by empowering our members. We address the needs of prisoners in Texas, challenge institutions of punishment and hold them accountable for their actions, and serve as a voice for prisoners and the communities most affected by the criminal justice system. PJL, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, seeks summer interns committed to social justice to assist with our work in fulfilling our mission. We are seeking interns who have a strong commitment to social justice and civil and human rights. Our office is located in Southeast Austin. Interns will have the opportunity to both work closely with our staff and independently. Responsibilities may include writing, research, community organizing, engagement, policy research, social media outreach, grant research and writing, and more. This position would be ideal for an undergraduate or recent graduate who has a passion for legal/law/criminal justice reform, community engagement, and who is interested in protecting human rights. At this time, this is an unpaid position. However, summer interns will receive on-the-job experience with non-profit management, litigation, advocacy, and human rights work. Additionally, we are happy to provide letters of recommendation and references if needed. This internship will begin on May 20th and end on August 7th.
