The Human Rights Campaign Internship

The Human Rights Campaign Internship offers numerous summer internships, as well as internships in the Spring and Fall, for college students who are LGBTQ advocates and leaders. More than 25 program areas are available.

Applicants have a choice of several locations, including Washington, DC, Birmingham, AL, Little Rock, AR and Jackson, MS. Internships are unpaid but do provide a modest, one-time travel stipend. The internship program is open to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as recent graduates who have graduated within the last year.

Interns will work on program areas ranging from political to development, communications to education. They will have an opportunity to network with some of the foremost LGBTQ leaders through educational brown bag seminars and other events.

Interns are chosen on the basis of their online application, cover letter, resume, writing sample and phone or in-person interview(s). Application materials include two required letters of reference. Students may apply for a summer internship, Fall, or Spring.

The Human Rights Campaign is the largest national lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer civil rights organization in the U.S., representing more than 1.5 million members and supporters across the nation. It was formed in 1980 and is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
