Anaheim, United States CAIR LA Full time

As a civil rights advocacy non-profit, Council of American Relations - Los Angeles (CAIR-LA) is tasked with striving to protect and uphold our Constitutional rights. Though the size of our task is large, our resources are not. Because of this, we train numerous volunteers and interns to help make our goals a reality. If you are interested in helping out with CAIR-LA, we would more than welcome your participation and support.

INTERNSHIPS

The internship program's objective is to further CAIR-LA's mission to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, promote and protect civil liberties, and empower American Muslims to build coalitions that ensure justice.

The internship program provides a means to complement academic work with practical vocational experience through professional development and department support that identifies skills, develops leadership, and addresses critical community needs. The goal of the program is to empower the interns in hopes of furthering their career goals.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and internet research.
  • Ability to convey information in a professional and diplomatic manner
  • Ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds.
  • Good organizational skills and attention to detail are crucial.

sustainable systems and processes for the various grants CAIR-LA leverages to support and provide

Immigrants Rights Center (IRC): Interns assist attorneys and staff in providing legal assistance to our clients to help
them obtain immigration status or benefits, become a US citizen, or petition for relatives.

Operations/Nonprofit Administration: Interns assist with daily operations such as coordination of staff
meetings, trainings, and activities; greeting guests and interacting with patrons; and assisting with office
organization projects.

Community Organizing: Interns will focus on coalition building and community organizing aimed at challenging Islamophobia and violence in the Greater Los Angeles Area.

Civil Rights: Interns will spend time working with community members, documenting, and conducting research to assist with the resolution of cases.

Development: Interns will assist in researching methods for donor growth and stewardship.

Policy & Advocacy: The Policy & Advocacy internship provides students with an opportunity to learn about the legislative process as well as the intersection of public policy and grassroots advocacy.

members and guests.
