Spring Internships with the Human Rights Clinic

The Human Rights Clinic is a course in the School of Law’s Experiential Education section. Law and other graduate students who take the Human Rights Clinic advocate on behalf of victims of human rights abuses. They work on a variety of projects. You can read more about the Human Rights Clinic here: https://law.utexas.edu/clinics/human-rights/

We are seeking a few unpaid interns to assist the students with their projects. In the past, interns have helped with tasks like making copies, scanning, translating documents, and assembling materials for meetings or mailing campaigns. Spanish language skills are a plus, but are not required.

The hours are very flexible, and the amount of time required varies from week to week.

To apply to become an intern for the Human Rights Clinic, please send an email with a copy of your resume to Ted Magee, the Clinic Administrator at: tmagee@law.utexas.edu

Summer Internships with Young Invinscibles

Young Invincibles and the Cognosante Foundation are hosting a fellowship program that will provide students with the opportunity to learn a range of skills from policy research, organizing and advocacy, to communications strategies, to business skills. Four fellows will be chosen to participate in our DC program, two in Chicago, and two in Houston. This is the second year of the program.

Program Description

Young Invincibles is seeking interested candidates to join our summer fellowship program, YI Scholars, for a professional and educational experience in Washington, DC, Chicago, and Houston. YI Scholars will have the opportunity to learn leadership and professional skills, be trained on the issue areas that Young Invincibles advocates for, explore both the non-profit and business sector and participate in educational activities throughout DC, Chicago, and Houston. Each YI Scholar will get a chance to work across the organization in policy and research, communications, organizing or YI’s consulting arm, YI Advisors. In addition, YI Scholars will become a part of a YI Alumni Network to ensure that they continue to engage with other young leaders as they begin their careers. This position is full-time, temporary for 10 weeks (June 6 – August 12), and pays a stipend of $5,000. The program also covers the cost of a round-trip plane ticket for the fellow to travel to DC, Chicago, or Houston and back home. Chicago and Houston fellows will be traveling to DC twice during the fellowship to meet with DC staff and the Cognosante foundation and participate in other DC activities. Preference will be given to first-generation college students.
