Alabama Appleseed often has internship opportunities open during Spring (Jan-May), Summer (May-Aug), and Fall (Aug-Dec) terms. We have worked with interns ranging from college freshmen to 3L law students, MA, and PhD students, so any student who is interested in our work is invited to apply. It is worth noting that our intern selection is often based on the current needs of staff at the time applications are submitted; therefore, the education and skillsets needed will vary among application cycles.
(Please note that Appleseed’s internships are unpaid. However, we will assist applicants in completing documentation or paperwork otherwise necessary to obtain stipends or other financial assistance available through school programs. Any travel or expense incurred during work performed on behalf of Appleseed, excluding commuting to and from the office, will be reimbursed.)
As we seek to cultivate the next generation of leadership in our state, we have a strong preference for students who are attending school in Alabama or who are originally from Alabama. Our most successful interns are strong writers, good researchers, and independent thinkers who are able to quickly comprehend assignments and take ownership of their projects. Evidence of administrative or organizational skills will also boost the strength of an application.
