About Our Internships

GLAD offers internships in all areas of the organization’s work – supporting our litigation, educating the public about civil rights, and fundraising for equal justice under law.

Interns are hired on an academic schedule — for the entire school year, an individual semester, or the summer. Summer internships are full time; academic year internships are part time (10-15 hrs/wk). All GLAD internships are unpaid.

Public Education Internship

For undergraduates, graduate students, and community members. Public Education Interns help research and write educational materials for print and web publishing, respond to information requests about legal rights, educate community members about what to do if they experience discrimination, maintain resource files and coordinate educational forums.
