Fall 2024 Part-Time Legal Intern

Immigration Equality seeks highly motivated law school students or new law school graduates for part-time Fall 2024 Legal Internships.

Immigration Equality is a national organization fighting for equal immigration rights for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and HIV-positive (LGBT/HIV+) community. We provide legal services to LGBTQ/HIV+ immigrants, and fight for administrative and legislative changes in U.S. immigration law.

Legal Interns work closely with our legal team to provide legal services to LGBT/HIV+ immigrants. Among other tasks, legal interns may assist members of the legal team in direct representation, participate in intake interviews, draft affidavits and other documents for administrative proceedings, and research issues about U.S. immigration law and policy.

Immigration Equality is an affirmative action employer: immigrants, people of color and transgender individuals are strongly encouraged to apply. French, Russian, Portuguese, or Spanish-language fluency preferred. Immigration Equality fosters a progressive and professional LGBTQ-friendly work space. Although a start date is negotiable, ideally, interns should be able to work for at least 10 weeks (September through November or December), at least 10-12 hours per week. However, if you have more availability, please indicate that in your cover letter, as well as the specific dates and times available. All work for interns this Fall will be remote and you will need to have access to your own computer and telephone. 

We welcome student interns from all backgrounds and experiences. We will work with interns who have funding or fellowships, or who are seeking school credit, to meet the requirements of their programs. 

To apply for an internship, please send a chronological resume and a compelling cover letter to Andrey Vinogradov (avinogradov@immigrationequality.org)
