Throughout the year, Interfaith Alliance hosts an internship program to offer the chance to explore the intersection of religion and policy and make a meaningful contribution to the pro-democracy movement in the United States. Interns are assigned a specific role (e.g. organizing, policy, communications, development) but also support cross-functional projects for the organization. Interns will have weekly learning opportunities as a cohort.

For Winter/Spring 2025, we have two positions available. Applications are due by December 20, 2024 and will be considered on a rolling basis. The internship program starts January 27, 2025 and ends on May 23, 2025.

Interfaith Alliance internships are paid at a rate of $18/hour for undergraduate students and $25/hour for graduate-level students. The internships can be full or part-time based on the applicant’s availability. Application to the Internship Program is competitive, and an on-going interest in religion and public policy is strongly recommended. The internship program is based in Interfaith Alliance’s Washington, D.C. headquarters and requires working in-person 2-3 days a week (contingent on schedule). Fully remote internships will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Applicants must have strong interpersonal, writing, and computer skills; the ability to manage multiple tasks and take initiative; and strong organizational skills.

Applicants for the Organizing Intern position should have previous organizing experience. Familiarity with EveryAction is recommended but not required.

To apply, send a cover letter and resume to internships@interfaithalliance.org.
