IWJ Summer Student Internships

The Interfaith Worker Justice Summer Internship is a 10-week program for undergraduate students who want to be active in the worker justice movement. Through hands-on experiences, interns advocate for the right of all people to be treated with dignity in their work. Interns are placed at interfaith committees or workers' centers across the country, where their responsibilities can include outreach to the religious community on labor issues, interviewing workers' and business leaders, participating in local and national campaigns, and working on public policy. The internship will begin June 6 with a week of training and conclude August 13 after debrief sessions.

Deadline for applying is March 15, with applications considered as space allows until April 15.
