InternshipsLegal
The Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment accepts legal interns throughout the school year and during the summer in both our Delano and San Francisco offices. We generally have 1-2 interns in Delano, and 3-4 interns in San Francisco, each summer. During the summer, we expect a 10-week commitment for our rigorous internship program. Our interns are involved in all aspects of our environmental justice work: they do legal research and writing, as well as administrative advocacy; draft and present testimony; and meet with clients. Internships sometimes involve travel to our client communities within California. Interns in Delano get significantly more client contact. Summer interns in San Francisco are expected to work in Delano at least one week during the summer; CRPE provides housing for this unique opportunity. Developement
We also accept part-time (1-2 days/week) social media and fundraising interns in both offices year-round. To apply for a social media or fundraising internship, please send a resume and cover letter to Marissa Alexander, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
