Internships

Every year, interns make a huge contribution to CfJJ's advocacy work. They assist with such essential tasks as data analysis, research, and writing, organizing meetings, and preparing mailings.  Interns enable us to have much deeper knowledge and broader impact than we ever could without them.  In return, we involve interns in the full range of our policy advocacy, regularly including them in meetings with allies, legislators, and other stakeholders.  Our goal is to give interns an opportunity to learn about, and contribute to, youth justice reform in Massachusetts – and, we hope, spark a life-long interest in this work.

Unpaid internships are available year-round for undergraduates, graduate, and law school students, and can range from full-time work for two to three months (e.g., during the summer or a co-op quarter), to a minimum of eight hours per week during a semester.

Strong candidates are those who exhibit excellent research, writing, or data analysis skills and a demonstrated interest in juvenile justice, education, child welfare or a related field.
