Job Description

Salary:

Since 1932, Legal Aid has provided civil legal assistance to clients in individual cases and engaged in systemic reform. Currently, we provide individual representation in consumer law, domestic violence/family law, housing, public benefits, and appellate matters. We also work on immigration matters and help individuals with the collateral consequences of their involvement with the criminal justice system. From the experiences of our clients, we identify opportunities for law reform, public policy advocacy, and systemic impact and appellate litigation.

 

Legal Aid believes that meaningful pursuit of our anti-poverty mission requires an unwavering commitment to racial justice and equity. We aspire both to reflect the rich racial diversity of the communities we serve and to value, respect, and empower our staff and clients to be effective agents of change. For more information about Legal Aid please visit our website,

 

This internship is for Summer 2025 and will be 10 weeks in duration. Interns at Legal Aid DC have the unique opportunity to receive substantive assignments that will have an immediate impact on our clients. Interns work out of Legal Aid’s offices in NW DC, with the option to perform some work remotely if approved by their supervisor. Summer interns should expect to work full time.

 

Legal Aid’s communications channels (including website, social media, email newsletter, and printed materials) are important tools to achieve our goals. Storytelling, digital content, and community outreach are critical to building donor support, engaging our wider client community, and advocating for policy change.

 

Responsibilities:

  • Create social media content and monitor social media channels
  • Help draft and design email newsletters, website content, printed flyers, and other materials
  • Help maintain and update Legal Aid DC website
  • Maintain and update Legal Aid’s email contact lists
  • Support the Development team in sending individual and organizational donors acknowledgment letters during the summer fundraising campaign
  • Other duties as assigned 

Requirements: Current undergrad or graduate student studying journalism, communications, and/or public relations with an interest in social justice.

 

Scholarship Funding:

Interns will receive a $6,125 scholarship for the 10-week internship. Interns will not receive scholarship funding if they receive outside funding for their internship. 

To Apply:

 

Legal Aid values an inclusive, diverse workplace and encourages applications from interested persons from diverse backgrounds of any race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, physical or mental disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, personal appearance, family responsibilities, matriculation, political affiliation, genetic information, or any other legally protected status.

 

We strongly encourage applications from people with personal experience with the criminal justice system and/or with lived experiences in the communities we serve.
