People For the American Way is a nationwide advocacy organization that mobilizes its members and activists to fight for public policies that reflect the values of freedom, fairness, and equal opportunity; to champion constitutional protections and civil rights; to hold public officials accountable to those standards; and to promote strong democratic institutions, including a federal judiciary that upholds individual rights. The affiliated People For the American Way Foundation conducts research, legal, and education work on behalf of First Amendment freedoms and democratic values; monitors, exposes, and challenges the Religious Right movement and its political allies; identifies, trains, and supports the next generation of progressive leaders through its Young People For youth leadership programs and its Young Elected Officials Network; and carries out nonpartisan voter education, registration, civic participation, and election protection activities. We offer internships in several areas; some are available throughout the year. Part-time internships and flexible scheduling may be arranged. Most internships are unpaid but we are happy to work with students to arrange academic credit and will reimburse interns for local commuting expenses for unpaid internships. Interns work with staff to track legislation, monitor congressional hearings, assist with grassroots organizing and program activities, and help with current research and writing projects, as well as some support duties. See the listings below for descriptions of intern positions that are currently available, as well as application instructions.
