Jobs at NRDC Internships

Internships

NRDC helps train the next generation of environmental advocates. NRDC hires students who possess the intelligence, skill, self-confidence, and maturity to take on enormous responsibility.

Our interns play an active role on the frontlines of the environmental movement. Over the course of an internship, NRDC interns work with lawyers, scientists, or policy analysts in different program areas and amass experience that they could not have obtained anywhere else.

Legal Interns

NRDC's summer legal internships are available to students enrolled in law school. Interns write briefs, draft complaints, prepare legal analyses, obtain affidavits, investigate corporate and government malfeasance, and draft white papers and comments for submission to Congressional committees and administrative agencies.

The deadline for first year law students is January 15th and the deadline for second year law students is November 15th.

Non-Legal Interns

NRDC also offers non-legal internships within our program areas as well as in Administration, Communications and Development.

The deadlines for these internships vary, so please review specific internship opportunities online for details.
