YP4 Internship

People For the American Way Foundation is a national organization that defends constitutional and civil rights and promotes the democratic values of citizen participation, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, and respect for diversity.

Young People For (YP4) is a youth-driven and youth-led program that brings together young leaders and activists from across the nation who are eager to ensure that progressive voices are heard on critical issues, such as civil liberties, the judiciary, religious freedom, economic justice and civil rights. This program is designed for serious people who are interested in being leaders and making a difference. Together we are building a long-term network of emerging leaders committed to protecting our nation's fundamental rights and freedoms. Young People For is a project of People For the American Way Foundation, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization.

Young People For is offering full-time and part-time internships in New York City. Stipends may be available, but most internships are unpaid. Young People For will work with interns to arrange academic credit.
