The CSJ offers for-credit internships every semester.  Students are encouraged to find their own agency or organization or click here for a list of suggestions.  Students are responsible for applying for and securing the internship before the semester begins.  The internship will run parallel to an academic semester, and students are required to complete a minimum number of work hours.  

An internship through the CSJ provides students with the opportunity to give back to the community and become directly involved in working with social justice issues.  The CSJ believes that a social justice internship can help students become more active, open, and engaged citizens.  Click here to download the internship application.

Interned: Trust Women

"There aren't many internships in reproductive justice or social justice in our part of the country. I was fortunate to find an internship with Trust Women, where I interned for two semesters. Following my social justice internship, I was offered and accepted a job with Trust Women as an Advocacy and Outreach Director. I am currently working in Wichita, leading a pilot leadership program that includes nine interns from across the country. My advice: don't be afraid to look for non-traditional arrangements for internships--mine worked out really well!"

Caitlin Campbell, Interned: The Oklahoma Group

"If we as a global society fail to pursue social justice initiatives, we will fail. An internship in social justice, for me, is essential in moving forward as an advocate of human rights and equality. Since I plan to pursue a career in the nonprofit sector, I think that this internship provides an important opportunity to get my feet wet and better understand how organizations working for social justice function. I hope to learn about local initiatives for social justice. Sometimes in Oklahoma, we forget the very important local work that changes the lives of people in our communities for  the better. "
