FIRE Intern
FIRE offers a ten-week, paid summer internship as part of our efforts to educate students about their rights at colleges and universities. This internship gives current undergraduates the opportunity to assist ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ in defending civil liberties across the country. ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ interns do substantive work and participate in weekly seminars with ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ staff and other experts on freedom of expression, due process, and much more. During their internship, they often write FIRE's blog. You can see their work below.
