About the role

The Institute for Justice—the National Law Firm for Liberty—seeks a trustworthy, detail-oriented intern to assist with a variety of fundraising tasks for the Winter season. In this position, interns assist in fighting government abuse and overreach by helping our team engage with our donors via thank you letters, cultivate new donors through online research, and help maintain our database and in-house files. Interns are compensated $15/hour and scheduling is flexible although we do require availability of at least 20-28 hours/week. This internship also requires a commitment to working at IJ's headquarters office in Arlington, VA from mid-November through mid-February. An extension of the internship work period into the Spring semester is available for the right candidate. Interns not only get an inside look at how a nonprofit manages a $50+ million fundraising operation, as well as gain valuable experience in a fun, fast-paced office environment that fights to protect Americans' civil liberties every single day. IJ is an equal opportunity employer. Don't meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At IJ we value a diverse workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
