The ACLU seeks an Undergraduate or Graduate Intern in the AFFILIATE SUPPORT & NATIONWIDE INITIATIVES- Organizational Management, Equity and Inclusion (OMEI) of the ACLU’s National office in Washington D.C.
The Team:
The Affiliate Support and Nationwide Initiatives Department's (ASNI) Organizational Management, Equity & Inclusion Team of the National ACLU Office has an opening for a graduate or undergraduate internship in New York, NY (remote or hybrid).
For 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Whether it’s ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for the LGBT community, advancing racial justice, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties and civil rights cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. With nearly two million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, national origin, and record of arrest or conviction.
What You’ll Do:
The intern will be responsible for collaborating with the OMEI team to ensure that the needs of the affiliate staff are met through learning programs, tools, and resources. The intern will be a part of designing and rolling out improved systems for collecting and communicating resources to ensure that learnings and experience can be shared across the ACLU network.

Our Commitment to Accessibility, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
Accessibility, equity, diversity, and inclusion are core values of the ACLU and central to our work to advance liberty, equality, and justice for all. For us diversity, equity and inclusion are not just check-the-box activities, but a chance for us to make long-term meaningful change. We are a community committed to learning and growth, humility and grace, transparency and accountability. We believe in a collective responsibility to create a culture of belonging for all people within our organization – one that respects and embraces difference; treats everyone equitably; and empowers our colleagues to do the best work possible. We are as committed to anti-oppression and anti-racism internally as we are externally. Because whether we’re in the courts or in the office, we believe ‘We the People’ means all of us.
With this commitment in mind, we strongly encourage applications from all qualified individuals without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, national origin, marital status, citizenship, disability, veteran status and record of arrest or conviction, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
The ACLU is committed to providing reasonable accommodation to individuals with disabilities.
