Organizing Internships
Make the Road New York is always seeking interns to work on our organizing
and advocacy campaigns. Hours are flexible. If interested,
please email Javier Valdes, Deputy Director.
Legal Internships
Make the Road New York seeks creative, committed law students (1Ls,
2Ls, or 3Ls) for fall semester, spring semester, and/or summer internships. The Legal Department at Make the Road New York works to facilitate
and strengthen our organizing work through the provision of legal
support services to our members and campaigns. We provide legal
representation and education to individuals who are active in Make
the Road's organizing work; and we conduct strategic litigation
as a part of the organizing campaigns. The legal department currently
focuses on the following substantive areas of the law:
- Employment and Labor
- Public Benefits and SSI (Disability)
- LGBTQ Legal Services
- Health Care and Health Insurance
- Housing (Landlord-Tenant)
- Public Education and the rights of parents/students in the NYC Public
School System
- Policy and legislative work
We ask that legal interns be willing to pitch in on a variety of
cases as necessary, but we are committed to providing a compelling
learning experience for each intern and will custom design an internship
with a primary focus that meets your particular interests. Our legal
interns do
much more than research and writing. Those who apply must be law students or undergrads, who are (1) motivated
to resist oppression and poverty, and (2) willing to commit to work 8 hours
per week to be a part of that fight.
If interested, email John Whitlow, Housing Attorney, or call (718) 4188-7690, ext. 237. Please send resume and a cover letter that explains your area(s) of interest and demonstrates your commitment to public interest law.
