Share Your Story
To help legislators understand the real-life impacts of policies on their constituents, it’s crucial to collect and share personal stories. Stories have the power to be heard and tell the truth. We invite members of the community to share their experiences and how they are affected by our focus areas, like public transportation or paid leave.

Internships
Empowering Future Leaders
4Coalition for Social Justice Education Fund Interns typically spend 10-20 hours each week diving into the economic justice issue areas we focus on. There is flexibility around the number of hours worked per week for many of the positions. There is also a large amount of flexibility around the days and hours of the internship for the majority of the positions. We can accommodate both internships that are for credit and internships that are not for credit. Due to funding constraints, we, unfortunately, are unable to provide paid internships at this time. We intentionally structure our internships to be as hands-on as possible and provide extensive training. Our interns take on leadership roles within our organization and are offered the opportunity to take on additional responsibilities for greater skill building.
Our internship programs are split into two tracks (Issue Campaign Interns and Communications Interns), with positions in a variety of our focus areas. Interns may be considered for multiple positions. Many internships are primarily in-person with some having both virtual and in-person responsibilities.
Applications are open till April 30th, 2024 for our Summer 2024 internship program. Click the button below to apply!
