The Position
The National Women's Law Center (NWLC) seeks a law student intern for summer 2024 to support the Center's work advocating to increase the economic security of women and families with low incomes.
This is a full-time, non-exempt paid position of 37.5 hours per week to start June 3, 2024 and end August 9, 2024. This work may be done hybrid or in-person.
The Organization
The National Women's Law Center fights for gender justice - in the courts, in public policy, and in our society - working across the issues that are central to the lives of women and girls.
We use the law in all its forms to change culture and drive solutions to the gender inequity that shapes our society and to break down the barriers that harm all of us - especially women of color, LGBTQ+ people, and low-income women and families.
For more than 50 years, we have been on the leading edge of every major legal and policy victory for women, and we need you with us to continue this fight.
Duties and Responsibilities
The intern will:
* Support advocacy around tax policy, housing policy, nutrition policy, social insurance programs, federal budget and appropriations, and anti-poverty programs critical to women's economic security
* Research legal and policy issues within our issue areas
* Track federal and state legislation on core and emerging legal issues
* View or attend meetings and events on behalf of the team, such as Congressional proceedings, coalition meetings and policy briefings
* Support the preparation of NWLC products like factsheets, reports, or comments on proposed federal agency regulations
* This internship will likely not involve litigation activities
Qualifications:
* Current enrollment in a JD program
* Strong research and writing skills, including excellent analytical, oral, and written communications skills;
* Experience working on gender justice issues with an intersectional lens;
* Experience or interest in a research, advocacy, or policymaking environment;
* Experience or interest in working on economic issues
* Demonstrated experience and judgment working both collaboratively and independently;
* Flexibility, creativity, and initiative along with excellent organizational, planning, and project management skills
Key Relations
The intern will report to the Senior Counsel for Income Security.
Compensation & Benefits
The intern will be paid an hourly rate of $17 per hour. This position is not eligible for benefits. If funding is available through the intern's school, the payment contribution from NWLC will be adjusted accordingly.
Classification
This position is not included in the union-represented bargaining unit, NWLC United, affiliated with the Nonprofit Professional Employees Union/IFPTE Local 70.
How to Apply
To apply, please submit:
* A resume;
* A cover letter explaining your interest in this internship;
* A writing sample
Applications accepted until position is filled.
The National Women's Law Center is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and values a diverse workforce. We strongly encourage and seek applications from people with disabilities; people of all gender identities and sexual orientations; people of color; and veterans.
Research indicates members of marginalized groups tend to underestimate their qualifications and apply only if they are a 100% match. If you are passionate about NWLC's mission and think you have what it takes to be successful in this role, even if you don't check all the boxes, please apply. We'd appreciate the opportunity to consider your application.
