Jubilee USA Network offers internships working with our Communications and Development Coordinator (CDC) each academic semester (fall, spring, and summer). The internship is for qualified individuals with an expressed interest in working on debt cancellation and other issues of global justice. The internship provides an exciting opportunity for individuals looking to gain experience with public education, media, policy and advocacy work.

As an intern at Jubilee USA you will work with the staff and fellows of Jubilee USA. During your semester with Jubilee, interns will support Jubilee's work generally, with the possibility of undertaking a semester-long project that is devised according to Jubilee's needs and intern interests.
