The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that seeks to improve the systems of democracy and justice in the United States. We work to hold our political institutions and laws accountable to the twin American ideals of democracy and equal justice for all. The Brennan Center’s work ranges from voting rights to campaign finance reform, from ending mass incarceration to preserving constitutional protections in national security policies. Part think tank, part advocacy group, part cutting-edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them — in Congress and the states, in the courts, and in the court of public opinion.    
We are seeking interns to join our Communications department on the Brennan en Español team to provide research / writing, and administrative support to staff. 

Note: This internship is in-person at our New York office. 


Responsibilities:  
All interns will assist with general research and administrative work for the Brennan Center, including coordinating meetings, and drafting routine correspondence. Additionally, there will be opportunities to attend and observe substantive meetings, events, and conversations on program work.  

In addition to administrative duties, specific responsibilities for the BEE department include: 

  • Helping the BEE team with research for different projects, including our newsletter. Writing social media messaging and assisting with social media posting. 
  • Contributing to videos for our social media platforms, including helping with writing scripts, and editing and recording of videos. (Experience on-camera is a plus but not required.) 
  • Monitoring both coverage in the Spanish-language and Latino press, and announcements and events by Latino organizations.  
Fluency (speaking, reading, and writing) in both English and Spanish is required. 
A video assessment will be requested for candidates selected to move forward in the hiring process. 

Qualifications:  
The ideal candidates are independent self-starters; detail-oriented; energetic; punctual; and highly organized. Interns must also have excellent research, writing, and analytical skills, as well as a passion for our issues. Experience with Windows, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word is a must. Database experience is very helpful. Applicant must be open to evolving responsibilities.

We are committed to considering a wide range of candidates, including those with diverse experiences and backgrounds. Whether you are new to the nonprofit law and policy sector, returning to work after a gap in employment, looking to make a career transition, or seeking to advance your professional path, we welcome your application. 
If you’re uncertain about meeting 100 percent of our qualifications, we encourage you to apply anyway. In your cover letter, please describe your interest in the position and what you hope to contribute to the role.
