INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

WLP’s Internship Opportunities 

Women’s Law Project (WLP) is a public interest legal organization working to defend and advance the rights of women, girls, and LGBTQ+ people in Pennsylvania and beyond. Using an intersectional analysis, our work centers the needs of people facing multiple forms of oppression based on sex, gender, race, ethnicity, class, disability, incarceration, pregnancy, and immigration status. We leverage impact litigation, policy advocacy, public education, and direct assistance and representation to dismantle discriminatory laws, policies, and practices, eradicate institutional biases, and advance gender justice.

WLP is a hybrid workplace, and interns are expected to work in-person in either our Pittsburgh or Philadelphia office 2-3 days a week. WLP may be able to support remote internships on a limited basis, where appropriate and reasonable.

Undergraduate and Graduate Student Interns

We accept applications for full-time summer and part-time spring and fall internships on a rolling basis until capacity is filled. Please send application materials to [email protected] with the semester and whether you’re applying for an undergraduate or graduate internship in the subject.
