Spring 2025 Undergraduate Internship

Immigration Equality’s New York City office is offering a spring internship position for undergraduate students. Immigration Equality is a national organization fighting for equal immigration rights for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and HIV-positive community. We provide direct legal services to LGBTQ and HIV-positive 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 LGBTQ and HIV-positive immigrants and to manage a nationwide pro bono program. Among other tasks, legal interns may be asked to assist members of the legal team in direct representation matters, assist with intake interviews, research issues about U.S. immigration law and policy, and partake in administrative assignments and projects. 

Immigration Equality is an affirmative action employer: immigrants, people of color, and transgender individuals are strongly encouraged to apply. French, Russian, or Spanish-language fluency preferred. Immigration Equality fosters a progressive and professional LGBTQ-friendly work space.

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.  

Although a start date is negotiable, ideally, interns should be able to work for 10-12 weeks (January through March), 8-12 hours per week. Please indicate the specific dates and times you are available in your cover letter.

To apply, email your cover letter and resume to tkeenan@immigrationequality.org with “Spring Internship” in the subject line.
