Who Should Apply

ADL is not looking for only one major. Strong applicants often come from:

• Law

• Political Science

• Public Policy

• International Relations

• Journalism & Communications

• Sociology

• Nonprofit Management

More important than your major is your interest in community work, social justice, research, or public service.

What Makes This Internship Valuable

Students work on real issues — hate crime monitoring, anti-bias education, advocacy campaigns, and community partnerships. Interns collaborate with staff members, attend meetings, and contribute to ongoing projects rather than observing from the sidelines.

Because ADL is a nationally recognized civil rights organization, this internship is particularly useful for students planning careers in law school, government, NGOs, policy, or advocacy work.

Application Advice

You don’t need prior internship experience to apply. ADL often values:

• Campus leadership

• Volunteer work

• Writing ability

• Interest in civil rights issues

A short, honest statement about why the mission matters to you can significantly strengthen your application.

Students interested in nonprofit careers or policy-related work should consider applying early, as multiple locations and teams are hiring and positions may fill before the closing date.
