Volunteers & Interns

We post openings for our internship program here and on our social media. Our internship program is open to law students, graduate students in the social sciences, and advanced undergraduates. We seek candidates with strong research, writing, communication, and organizational skills. All internships are unpaid. Philly Justice Project is a hybrid workplace. Interns are expected to attend in person meetings, court hearings, as well as travel to prison and jail facilities.

Duties may include research and writing for publication, developing online content, supporting community outreach and education efforts, assisting with advocacy campaigns, providing assistance on applications for commutation and parole, participating in fundraising efforts, and performing administrative duties (e.g., maintaining and updating client files, responding to general inquiries, developing mailing lists, etc.).
