About the Program

The Policy and Legislation (PAL) intern will work with the PAL department, which is comprised of environmental lobbyists and advocates, to protect our courtroom victories from efforts to undo them in Congress and defend and strengthen the same environmental laws Earthjustice enforces in the courtroom.  The intern will learn how a non-profit environmental organization weighs in on environmental policy at the federal level and gain considerable insight into congressional procedures, the policy process, environmental nonprofit lobbying and advocacy strategizing, coalition building, and associated communications and outreach.

Responsibilities:

  • Assist in various tasks, including online research and blog writing
  • Attend congressional hearings and coalition meetings
  • Prepare and disseminate information to Congressional offices and PAL staff
  • Make phone calls to hill offices
  • Manage databases
  • Assist with outreach and preparation for events sponsored by PAL
  • Draft and edit policy documents and fact sheets
  • Opportunity for short and/or long-term research projects on a variety of issues, depending on the intern's interests
