Careers & Internships

The ACLU of North Carolina is seeking a Communications Intern to join us this summer. A communications internship at the ACLU of North Carolina provides undergraduate/graduate students with an opportunity to actively work on multi-media communications and public relations projects addressing a wide variety of civil rights and liberties, including immigrants’ rights, LGBTQ rights, First Amendment, reproductive freedom, and criminal justice reform. Reporting to the Communications Director, the Communications Intern will gain valuable skills from members of the Communications department, supporting and uplifting our work through integrated advocacy. The Communications Intern will gain hands-on experience in digital advocacy strategy, rapid-response messaging, and values-aligned social media engagement within a statewide civil liberties organization. The Communications Intern will be expected to work remotely 40 hours per week, from May through August, but may be asked to occasionally meet in person at our Durham office.

The American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina (ACLU-NC) is currently accepting applications for a Summer 2026 Policy & Advocacy Intern to work in our office.
